A fantastic "Junio 44" Location is the Monasterio cisterciense de Santa Maria de Valdeiglesias near Pelayos de la Presa. Within a few years back in the 60/70ths a lot of different Movie Productions have been filmed in the Monasterio. Western and Horror flicks and colorful War Movies. See the comprehensive Historia Cinematografica of this fantastic Movie Set here: Monasterio |

| Several scenes of "Junio 44" have been shot around the Monasterio in the "Normandia". | |||||

There was nowhere an information available about the Submarine Location of "Junio 44 - Desembarcaremos en Normandia". I found out that the S 22 which we see in the movie was stationed in Cartagena! The Production companies (Atlantida Films/Fida Cinematografica) rented the ship in the Base de Submarinos de Cartagena. The only information I found was about the S 01 (G-7) which played a role in the german movie "U47 - Kapitänleutnant Prien". |

With the help of this great Set Foto (1968) it is clear that they simply filmed the scenes in the Harbour of Cartagena, precisely in the Base de los Submarinos! Keep an eye on the buildings in the background (skull). |

The Submarino S 74 "Tramontana" in the Base de los Submarinos de Cartagena. Some Scenes of the Lewis Teague Movie "Navy Seals" were shot inside of the "Tramontana"! Another "Submarino del Cine" in Cartagena! Other "Navy Seals" Scenes have been shot in the town of Cartagena. |

"The Dirty Seven" on a little ride in a rubber dinghy. All these scenes including the beach scenes (Normandia!) were filmed very close to or directly in the harbour of Cartagena. No extravagance in B-Movie! |

German Lobby Card of the movie "U47 - Kapitänleutnant Prien" (1958) showing the G-7 submarine. The german ARCA Company rented the G-7 submarine from the spanish navy. The G-7 was the old german World War II submarine U573 which was still part of the spanish navy in 1958 (later re-named in S 01) and of course perfect for the movie. |

All "U47" Movie scenes with the G-7 were filmed very close to the Cartagena harbour. "Scapa Flow" is the Costa Calida with the "Isla de Escombreras" in the background. |
