Would that be a German Film about the Russo-Finnish war?

I liked the film Die Brucke (The Bridge). I have both the 1960s version and the remake on DVD.

No, it is yet another WW2 eastern front series.

Nope, but speaking of the Russo-Finnish War, Talvisota is a good finnish movie about the Winter War.

Interesting.

...when his squad of four Shermans faces off against a “goddamn Tiger” deep inside Germany late in the war.
According to the haters in this thread this movie was supposed to be about a lone Sherman crew singlehandedly taking on the entire Wehrmacht and defeating them in a blaze of American butt kicking superiority over the silly goose stepping (and apparently musical) Germans.

Good article.
Forgot to mention the allied air superiority. Tank is weakest at the top and a good fighter pilot could have taken a tiger out in a single pass

Great article! Especially the solid immutable fact "Quantity has Quality of its own" 'During World War II, approximately 19,247 Shermans were issued to the US Army and about 1,114 to the US Marine Corps The U.S. also supplied 17,184 to England (some of which in turn went to the Canadians and the Free Poles), while the Russians received 4,102.'' The Russians built 100.000 tanks of which 83,000 were lost....there were only ever 1400 Tigers and that total includes rebuilds. Comin' at you from East and West, I make it....141,647 vs 1400 slow moving Tigers with limited field/bridge range/access and a logistic problem in having to dismantle wheels for rail transit....they should better have spent the Reichmarks on Panzer IV's en masse!

And if you liked the Tiger then you'll love the King Tiger, now with cup holders.

If the tiger wasn't slow and cumbersome enough for you, we've made it more slower and more cumbersome.

Looks really cool in the show room. (petrol logistics and service not included).

An if you buy a King Tiger now, we'll install a free sound system, so you can "blitz" to this tune:

Me.
Good movie but lacked the focus on the white tiger itself.
Expected a good chase after it, following a trail of destroyed Soviet tanks until the showdown.

Another film I have a bad feeling about:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...II-comedy.html

The new 'Dads Army' film. This was an excellent tv comedy about the British Home Guard during WW2, crammed with memorable characters and brilliant scripts. To try and remake it now seems a bit pathetic and I have a feeling it'll dump on the memories of all the original cast.

Here's one of the original episodes:
