Yes, agree with other reviewers in this is not a truly accurate film, historically or technically. But, it is a very enjoyable movie, not a great film. It tries only to give the viewer a "feel" for what was happening before and during one of Hitler's last offensives. In that, I feel it succeeds. It is full of engaging characters and action. And, a fine music score as well!! Sure, anyone and pick holes in any film, and there are much better WWII films out there, but as for a good movie and a good time, this one's pretty darn good!! By the way, in reference to another reviewers remarks, Panthers did not have "rounded" armor. The plating was sloped at an angle to help deflect enemy fire as were the armor plates on the Tiger II's which were a big part of the German (not Nazi) arsenal. The Tiger I, already out of production by the time the Ardennes Offensive took place (December 16, 1944), had vertical armor plates and a boxlike hull and chassis, if anyone is interested on getting the facts straight...
