How about "
Kampf" ("Combat")?
Unteroffizier Saunders (Sergeant Saunders) could take care of that Sherman in minutes, far faster than the Germans with Panzerfäuste could in "Fury I." Uh-oh: I have probably 1) insulted all our German correspondents, 2) started a debate over the movie, 3) started a debate over the comparative power of the
Panzerfaust and the Sherman, and 4) revealed my old age.

Wait a minute! The movie did 1) already! (This ought to get me more flames than a Churchill Crocodile

.)

There are some clever short video alternative endings the that Tiger V Fury scene with the timber deflection of the incoming 88 round.
All of which result in poor old Brad being squashed under his turret .
As for lost panzers , with the increase in ownership
Of metal detection devices and suchlike plus the opening of many previously closed borders, they must be almost all picked over and identified by now.
Even the last U Boat has been located to close the book on missing vessels.

While we’re on the subject, I really enjoy watching online videos of German WW2 relics being discovered and retrieved from dirt or water or whatever. Tanks, equipment etc. Could be dangerous I guess if ordinance was “dug up”.

I wish digging and restoring tanks would be as easy as in those games

I walked the area in and around Verdun, the view from the top of the memorial is beautiful,
A fallen soldier east disinterred by the wether a well before we arrived, he was placed in the memorial with the other 120,000 .
Every year there, unfortunate animals detonate UXO , Dinh’s warm to stay on the tracks not go wandering off in case you wind up orbiting the outer rings !
