As far as the M51 goes, there is a movie called The Big Red One that I found in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. They use M51's (which, in the movie, are supposed to be Tiger I's). There are a couple of good scenes of them running around, and I really enjoyed hearing what they actually sounded like, and seeing the amount of exhaust smoke that they generated. Some scenes of it from the movie are here:
