"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."
Czech etc troops were serving on the front lines, as reserves and on the eastern front. i like how some of them in the beach scene actually spoke czech.
secondly, the 12th SS (fanatic hitler youth) caused alot of problems. They really mixed it up with the canadians and caused alot of problems.
Secondly, no one would march those tanks into the town the way they did. Especially not the marders. Jerry wasnt that depserate as to use marders as main battle tanks. In fact, they should not have even been near the town. Those tanks are used for sitting back and lobbing shells. Not duking it out with other tanks or infantry.
