if you're saying that Donald Sutherland was an SS officer in The Great Escape, I can find no google record of it. 

If I misunderstood, then never mind.

The SS officer in The Great Escape ( Karl-Otto Alberty) was the tank commander in Kellys Heroes.

Yes exactly!

The Oddball quote was just because.

Hint...drove the car in Bullet too :)

The bad guys' car loses 5 hubcaps in that chase.  They also pass the same VW several times.  Yup, watched it a time or two, the chase, anyway.

I'll have to re-watch the movie.  The youngest hasn't seen it so it'll be fun.  :thumb:
