Good afternoon,
I saw it and enjoyed it for all of the period piece equipment and armor. People have criticized the use of Panzer IIIs in the movies but I can see the writer's idea. The film depicts the last days of the war in Europe and the Germans really were scraping the bottom of the barrel for men, supplies and vehicles to fight. The use of early war tanks and a commander from an Armor tactics school is not very far fetched when you consider the time portrayed.
regards,
Painless
