Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2006-11-24 01:02	Yeah, Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf D to be exact. Im not sure if this is real, the front wheel looks way too big. -- Last edit: 2006-11-24 01:03:47

Since this was filmed in the US during the war, it's unlikely to be a real one. I would have thought it's just about possible that the US army captured one and shipped it over for evaluation and then loaned it to the studio, but I would have thought that any captured enemy hardware would have been kept secret.
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2006-11-26 07:28	Ive looked at everything and its defiantly real. 1939 Krupp Pz.Kpfw.IV.Ausf.D (SdKfz 161) Only innacuraccy with it is they put an Mg.42 as the hull machinegun, tanks used the smaller Mg.34. The gun is a prop anyway. -- Last edit: 2006-11-26 07:30:10

Pierre ◊ 2016-07-03 04:05	I like the contemporary 'artillery' wheels on the grand guerilla gun, if indeed they match.
