Taxi for Tobruk (original title Un taxi pour Tobrouk) is a 1961 French war drama directed by Denys de La Patellière. The story takes place in North Africa during the Second Battle of El Alamein. Four French soldiers, serving in British Long Range Desert Group, return after the raid on German base with a captured German officer.
The following weapons were used in the film Taxi for Tobruk (Un taxi pour Tobrouk):
In several scenes François Gensac (Maurice Biraud) is armed with a M43 Spanish Mauser rifle (the movie was filmed in Spain). M43s, standing for Karabiner 98k, are also carried by German soldiers.
A Hispano Aviación HA-1112 fighter plane, Spanish post-war version of Messerschmitt Bf 109 stands for Bf 109 in one scene (like in many other WW2 Spanish filmed movies). The Spanish plane is armed with two 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 guns.
Several T-26 light tanks are seen in one scene. They are Soviet tanks, supplied for Republican Spain and used by Spanish army for a long time. In the movie they stand for German tanks. The main gun of T-26 is a 45mm 20-К gun, a close relative of 45 mm anti-tank gun M1937 (53-K).
