Places whose own article says it was shot there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Trinity College, Dublin Ireland
“It served as the filming location for Luftwaffe headquarters in The Blue Max.” Wikipedia
-
Weston Airport Ireland
“Several air displays have been held at the airport, and in 1966 Weston was used in filming the World War I air combat film, The Blue Max.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in County Wicklow, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
