Ein Kriegsfilm im Montafon
1968 wurde im Montafon der Film "Hannibal Brooks" gedreht. Die
beiden Bilder vom entgleisenden Zug wurden von meinem Vater
gemacht. Seit 1968 hat sich die Landschaft hier durch Hochwasser
und die Verlegung der Montafonerbahn ziemlich verändert.
Erstausstattung des Cache:
2 Magnetspiele
2 Geduldspiele

During filming of the movie "Hannibal Brooks", a train was
derailed in this area. The train was laden with wooden replicas of
German tanks. Below you can find a description of the film in
English

Hier eine Zusammenfassung des Films in Englisch:
"During World War II, Brooks, a peace-loving British soldier, is
captured by the Germans in Italy and placed on a prison train to
Germany. On board, he meets Packy, an American prisoner of war who
engineers an escape for them against Brooks's will. They are
captured and taken to a prison camp outside Munich. Brooks is
assigned to work at the local zoo, where he becomes attached to
Lucy, a 15-year-old elephant. The elephant keeper is killed during
an air raid; and Brooks is detailed to take Lucy by train to a zoo
in Innsbruck, Austria. Their railroad car is commandeered by SS
Col. von Haller, however, thus forcing Brooks and Lucy to make the
journey by foot. Accompanying them are Willi, a friendly Austrian
guard; Vronia, a Polish prisoner who is their cook; and Kurt, a
disagreeable German guard who frequently gets drunk and insults
both Vronia and the elephant. Brooks accidentally kills Kurt when
the latter threatens to shoot Lucy; and Willi suggests they cross
the Alps to the Swiss border, 60 miles away. Brooks agrees, but
insists upon taking along Lucy. Brooks sets out with Lucy on the
long trek across the Alps after Vronia and Willi have gone on
ahead. En route, he repeatedly crosses paths with his pursuers, led
by von Haller, as well as with Packy, who now leads a guerrilla
band of escaped prisoners. Finally, Brooks, Packy, Vroni, and Willi
all reach the border, whereupon von Haller, who is deserting as the
war nears its end, tries to doublecross them to make good his own
escape. During the fighting that breaks out, Vroni and Willi, who
have betrayed their loyalties, are killed, but Lucy knocks down a
border post and leads Brooks, Packy, and the remnants of his small
army, to safety in Switzerland."
