i still remember seeing this on TV in the 1970's...my first days as a tankie, had maybe 50 tanks, almost all german, all of them 1.32 that cost about $5 each. Read every book i could get my hands on about WW2 and started really believing that they had something good points with Barbarossa considering we were still 30 years into the "Cold war" with the "Soviets"...but that's an opinion that might not be popular here so I'll stop...I tried watching this but the tanks were what bothered me the most. The "attacking Germans" were all American with the fake markings. This drove me crazy for some reason - at least with "Fury", they finally made a decent tank movie, that didn't show the Americans as all good guys triumphing over all, they showed it more like how it was.
My favorite movie of that era was "Cross of Iron" - real T-34's vs. German troops led by the great James Coburn as Steiner.
