DIEHARD ◊ 2006-08-18 14:24	The movie is set in 1944, so this is a Vehicle to far.....

Kooshmeister ◊ 2009-01-27 14:48	I think it's supposed to be a Panther, so I put "as Panther."

Yes, it is a little too modern for the period, and, not overly convincing in it's disguise as a WW2 AFV, but, it's alot better to see a Leopard than seeing an American AFV with balkan crosses and German paint schemes.
Gearhead ◊ 2011-03-19 03:42	This tank is meant to act as a Tiger 1 tank or Panzer 4 tank. Which according to the book "A Bridge Too Far" which the movie is based on, the tanks that attacked Colonel John Forst Battilon at Arnhem later on in the battle were Panzer 4 and Tiger 1 tanks. Though i will admit they did try to make this tank look like a Panzer 5 "Panther."
