Bushes and grass aren't to scale, WWII Germany didn't have a don't ask don't tell or openly gay policy that would have allowed the tank commander to serve. :haha:

Camera also has the wrong kind of flask cude in it and you don't need flash in the daytime. :haha:

If you look closely you can also see the boots on the guy standing on the last tank use Velcro instead of laces and Velcro hadn't been invented yet. Also waring a digital watch! Possible time traveler? ;)

No machine guns on the cupola's??

Two Tigers pictured together, they were so unreliable that this never occurred in real life??

How did they get round the house without knocking it down???

If they are waiting for a train then why aren't they fitted with transport tracks????

Do I win??

Nope.

The other inaccuracies are :
1. The hull plates on the late model tiger are not fully scuplted out.
2. When Wittman posed for the propaganda photo he was on Tiger 205 not 222.
3. The figure on the second Tiger is also Michael Wittman.
4. The Normandy deployment was during the Summer of 1944 - this shot has frost on the ground.
5. The kubelwagen's wing mirror is missing.
6. Where loading gauge permitted, transport tracks weren't necessary.

Are you referring to the twin holes on the left of the mantle ?

If you check the book "Tigers in Normandy" you will see that many had twin binoculars. I can't tell for certain whether "222" had single or twin.

I think most peeps were under the assumption we were all looking for real mistakes.
