Default Scapped historic military vehicles for the film industry

Gents,

I have fond and terrible memories of the Iltis.

Those of us who served while it was in service have both.

The memories of a cool and nice convertible Jeep like imported idea and then the memories of the comrades who were killed or injured in an unsafe barely roadworthy and unarmoured light truck.

You choose as an individual wich you prefer.

But as far as Hollywood goes here is what i propose :

'' Disclaimer ''

There were no historicaly significant trucks destroyed or damaged in the filming this production . Observers form the Military Vehicle Preservation Society were present at all times. ''



Cheers .

Robert

I'll buy two.

Seriously,

I met a WW2 Veteran last nov 11 at the Monument in my home town and he looked at my 1942 Ford F15A G.S. and he said he was not too found of it.He transported the bodies of his comrades in Holland to their last resting place in a similar one
.
Very bad memories.Sad memories.

It is all a question of perspective.

To each his own and we must respect other people's choices.

Viva la PETFMV !
