Yeah, the line Prowse spoke on set was "No Luke, Obi-Wan killed your father".
Mind you, to be fair, nobody among the cast and crew knew about the twist at that point, except for Hamill who, allegedly, had been told of Vader's real dialogue moments before shooting that scene by Kershner.
It wasn't like Prowse alone was being kept in the dark there...

Exactly... he shouldn't whine. After all, he was part of THE plot twist of the century. Him not knowing was part of creating that moment.

He spoke lines on set that would be redubbed by Jones, but he never got THOSE lines to say. They were kept secret from nearly everyone.

Only Lucas, Kershner, Kurtz and Hamill knew as far as I know.

That still is one of the greatest plot twists in film history.
