The tanks look nothing like they are supposed too. Got a real kick out that.

The large tanks were American M 48 Pattons , the smaller tank the guy slid under was an American Walker Bulldog , I forget the M number . Seems parts of the movie were shot in Spain so probably vehicles from the Spanish Armed forces ( they also supplied tanks for the movie Patton ) Always wanted to kit bash a US M3 Half Track to look like these “German ” vehicles . I wonder if the same movie company made the film , Raid On Rommel , they seem to use all the same vehicles

Nah, this movie is a classic. It somehow rises above its cheesy flaws. Historically it is beyond absurd, but that’s not the point.

Well… I’m not sure of all I just viewed… but darn it was awesome! That tank slide stunt looked absolutely dangerous, but was also a showcase of old school film making, there’s real danger there! That is what’s missing from the modern films in scores. Funny that, more risk more reward!
