I saw it last night, and today. Good movie but with regards to tanks, all wrong. For one, battle of Casserine Pass 1943, M24 Chafee tanks against either M48s, or M60 tanks with Swastikas painted on them. The M24 didn't come out until late 44 or early 45, and Germans using M48 American tanks, I don't think so.
The best I've seen this weekend is the scene in Where Eagles Dare where the German officer lands in the castle grounds with a Bell 47 helicopter. Not only not German, but that helicopter was not even around during WWII.
