Hi,
I just watched SPR again, and I found that some of you are wrong.

You also seem to have the "10 germans" confused with Waffen SS. A WSS soldier would probably have reacted as you describe, but most of the Infantry in Normandy were non-German conscripts and POW's; Poles, Russians, French, there were even 6 Koreans captured on Omaha. They had no desire to fight for the Nazi regime

Um, that was an SS Panzergrenadier group moving through there... it's shown several times with the soldier's SS twin-lightning bolt emblem as well as their camouflaged smocks, and when they run into that reconnaissance SdKfz 251 the guy even mentions that it's part of an SS division.

The Tiger was a poor mock-up of a tiger.

Hardly... that was actually a pretty nice mock up. The tracks were a little off but beyond that it was nice.

infact, the tiger itself was just a problem. it seems like they just let Hans Nobody lead that battlegroup. Strategy way wrong.
|
This is totally true. The attack seemed like it was led by a confused monkey...

I believe jackson fires a few too many rounds when taking out the sniper in the bell tower.

What? He fires one round.

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.

Well, as was noted before, both the Panzerjager Nashorn (aka the Hornisse) and the Marder II (one was a Marder II, the second one that destroys the belltower) were direct tank destroyers, not self propelled artillery guns. They wouldn't have been that direct but they would be right in there, and especially since they didn't know if the Americans maybe had some tanks lying in wait. And how else would they have gone in? They had little space to move down that main street and "marching those tanks into town" was pretty much the only way they could've done it.
Thanks,
Manga
