This is a screen shot from the film Patton. Is this an authentic German plane and if so, what is it?

It is a Heinkel-111

Hi, I think your answers are partially correct, i believe the aircraft in question happens to be a CASA 2.111. A spanish license built version of the Heinkel 111.

The scene is from the movie Patton, and the officer in the dark coat walking towards the plane is supposed to be Feldmarschall Rommel. The scene is set shortly after the Battle of Kasserine, so those are American prisoners.

During the production of the film Patton, the CASA 2.111 was used to represent the He 111s in the film because there were no He 111s in airworthy condition when the movie was being production. How many CASA 2.111s were used during the production of the film Patton?
