Ju87 Replica at Rokycany
In the film "The young Hannibal Lecter" a Ju87 replica was used for the crash scene in the beginning of the film, when the aircraft hits a Russian tank. Today this replica is at the Rokycany Demarcation Museum. This replica was done very detailled, even if it was to be seen in the film only for a few seconds.
It was marked GS+MH and has the s/n 494193 on the tail. Does anyone know, if this belongs to a real Ju87 and what happened to it? Thanks for your help, Horst |

W.Nr. 494193 was a Junkers Ju 87 G-2 that was flown by Hans-Ulrich Rudel.

Re: Ju87 Replica at Rokycany
Thank you, Simon!
... and yes, of course I should have known this by my own. Interesting, that the film team spent so much accuracy into the replica as Rudel's WNr. 494193 on the tail. Even if historical facts are not important for the film itself, they seem to use the replica of an aircraft, which was in the Baltics in 1944, where the film scene plays. However, in the film "Rudel's Ju87" crashed into a tank killing the pilot, what at least did not happen to Rudel, who survived WWII. But none of the film spectators will realize this historical fault as the replica is seen only a few seconds before exploding on the ground. |
