Actually at that point the Germans were using anybody and everybody they could get their hands on.
Both the 2nd and 12st Panzer divions were in Normandy, as was the 12th SS Panzer.
Panzer Lehr arrived on the 8th of June, which, IIRC, was prior to the main action of the film.
All of the above units had the Tiger 1, the mock up of which was actually very well made, even incorporating the "rough armour" of post-1941 tanks.
