Name of a movie, possibly WWII, [theory of] assassination attempt?
I’m trying to find a movie title from the details I recollect of some scenes.
An assassin has had a custom gun & about six bullets made, he tests these in a range on site and when satisfied with it’s performance then shoots the gunsmith to cover his tracks.
The target is in the military - possibly a General, I recollect this is from WWII and the opportunity to take the shot is from the cover of some ruins on a roadside as the General’s vehicle passes where the route snakes around in what could be a pronounced S bend – the bullets for the attempt are designed for a glancing blow and the target car will be accelerating out of a corner but need to stop because of a blockage on the road – the shot to be taken is as the General involuntarily leans forward as the car brakes exposing the back of his neck, a successful hit will break his neck and the bullet should pass through the vehicle and go undetected. It is hoped the General’s death will not be deemed an assassination, just a freak accident if he is indeed discovered to have died at that time – possibly because it will spark further conflict in the war
I think the ammunition is low-velocity, and short range – it is an expert shot and requires the firing of the gun is not heard, or it should be passed off as engine noise echoing off the ruins.
I’m sure this movie is pre-2000, yet maybe even pre-1990.
...and that’s all I have – any pointers?

Brass Target, showing the assassination of General George Paton.
Rubber bullet that would look like a bit of wreckage from the car.

Violence is violence. Terrorism is terrorism. Neither could be justly generalize an entire inhabitants. between all Muslims and Arabs i be conscious of (and that i stay close to an extremely large community of the two), none are Muslim extremists nor Arab extremists. in certainty, they seem to be a good distance from it - very non violent, comfortable people. What bothers me maximum isn't that all of us stay with the possibility of being struck with the help of lightning or eaten with the help of an escaped lion, yet that the media moguls are so obsessed on morbidity. If 20,000 people assemble to take heed to a candidate and *one* guy or woman shouts a racist or hateful slur, the media dismiss all 19,999 and hardly point out what the candidate reported. yet that *one* cretin is broadcast returned and returned. it fairly is the antithesis of journalistic integrity. it fairly is purpose is, as every physique - able to even the weakest good judgment - knows, is to incite equivalent and opposite anger in visitors, readers, and so on. united states of america's best stealth hazard is the mainstream media (the 2d is the incumbent Congress). people whose behaviors data a danger to society (including justifying homicide or trusting a corrupt media-gadget) should not be permitted to boost any young ones (be conscious I did *not* say prohibited from having any). ...
