Default Tobruk

Have just watched a Czech film called Tobruk about a unit of theirs who fought with a Polish Div at Tobruk. Subtitles but well produced film with some good sequences of CMP trucks.
Don't know how accurate the scenario is though.

I'm reasonably certain (but age is catching up LOL) that in the movie 'Bad Blood' with Jack Thompson, set in New Zealand during WW2, that somewhere in the movie I spotted a CMP? but it has been a long time since I saw that movie, cheers Dennis

There are two CMP in that movie Bad Blood. One is a C8AX and the other a C60.

... And I know one of the soldiers in it! (as far as claims to fame go, that's the best I can come up with!)
