I played a German soldier in the movie


I clearly remember the summer of 1960. I went to Pinewood studios to be outfitted as a German soldier in the Spike Milligan movie Invasion Quartet. I carried a rifle and had to jump from the back of a lorry. I was given one pound extra for doing this. Later in a concentration camp scene I had to pull on a gas mask and make a great commotion as Spike Milligan rode through the main gates on a bicycle. Although this was filmed on a sunny afternoon, when I saw the movie a year later it all took place in the middle of the night and I could hardly see the faces of anyone on the screen. I was SO disappointed as I couldn't spot myself among the crowd of soldiers. I have related all this in my Autobiography: Heaven can Help, published by Authorhouse.com (USA) My name is Brian Edward Hurst and I live in Reseda, CA now. I came to the US in 1980 and am now a citizen of this great country.
