    I have no words to thank you for this FASCINATING TRIP IN TIME and for showing me the original location of one of my favorite movies.
    I saw this movie for the first time on black and white TV in the 70's in Argentina.
    My best friend and I played WW2, all the days but the Germans were imaginary because none of us wanted to impersonate them... 😂.
    Today I am 60 years old and had a wonderful childhood.
    THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this beautiful gift!!.
    Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷!!

    Excellent work. Well done. I've never seen a location trip for Kelly's Heroes. For us Brits, Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagles Dare are two of the most repeated war films on telly. My two favourite war films (and Zulu).
    Fantastic stuff. Cheers.

    The best war movie ever made! This film inspired my love of the second world war and love of history in general. I remember watching this as a young lad with my late father. Very fond memories and fascinating to see the comparisons today. Good work.

    Always thought that scene at 8:44 where the cameraman keeps the camera rock steady, and in focus to catch Donald Sutherland's amused expression as the tank stops just short of Kelly was simply outstanding camerawork!

    This is brilliant ! My favourite film since I saw it in 1970 when I was 13 years old .
    Going to see where films are made is a hobby for me so this was a real bonus for me .
    Well done !
    I recently followed some locations in Kefalonia for ‘Captain Correlli’s mandolin’
    Also ‘The Holiday ‘in Shere near Guildford can see the bridge Cameron Diaz runs across and the field where they built the cottage for the film .
    Also BBC TV locations for ‘Strike ‘ in London and ‘Beyond Paradise ‘in Looe Cornwall

    • @Overlandtraveladventure

    You gotta love those Russian made T34 Tiger tanks. Lmao! If anyone is interested a few years back. A British magazine made an issue on Kelly's Heroes should still be available on the internet somewhere?
    I saw it with my family at a Drive-in theater in 1970 when it opened. If any are left. I recommend you try to get the owner to show it there. It was a great and enjoyable experience. I just wish Mr. Eastwood understood just how much we enjoyed that movie like his spaghetti westerns (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). It'll always be this boomer's favorite.
    As a film fan born when they made good movies. Thank you, sir!

    Absolutely amazing, still one of my favourite films. As a thirteen year old, obsessed with tanks, when it came out, I was absolutely captivated by the film. I believe it was very loosely based on one of the biggest heists of all time.
