patches Posted June 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2012 I thought this might be a fun topic, unlike willysbm44 popular earlier topic on faux, phony, or goof ball Hollywood military patches that were found, this one we can show shoulder patches for legitimate units that were represented in the various War and Historical films down through the years. First up, the 12th Air Force as worn by Frankie, in the 1965 movie Von Ryans Express. YOU'LL HAVE YOUR IRON CROSS NOW VON RYAN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted June 2, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2012 The 69th ID patch was very prominent in the "Phil Silvers Show" aka "Bilko"...clearly visible here on Corporal Henshaw's shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted June 2, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 2, 2012 The Duke in "The Longest Day". (Almost all the AIRBORNE arcs in this movie are way too high!) The worst patch error....ever...is in the colourised version of the movie. The 29th ID patch is blue & red! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted June 2, 2012 Cliff Robertson- Sgt Edward Baxter 9th Infantry Division and Red Buttons- Pfc Harry Devine 4th Infantry Division in the 1965 movie Up from the Beach, in both photos the men are wearing the M43 Field Jacket not the accurate M41 which was the type worn on D-Day and thoughout the Normandy Campaign. The one with Robertson/Sgt Baxter by himself we see what appears to be those Green chevrons on Green wool types, with both the 9th Division patch Robertson is wearing and the 4th Division patch Buttons is wearing, appear to be non standard types both being on wool.

patches Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted June 2, 2012 The Duke in "The Longest Day". (Almost all the AIRBORNE arcs in this movie are way too high!) The worst patch error....ever...is in the colourised version of the movie. The 29th ID patch is blue & red! :w00t: And if you look closely while watching the film, are Yellow on Black not the correct White on Blue. Maybe in the original the "29th Division patch" was actually this one, with the colorization being accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
