At least that vehicle has a licensed 38t-chassis. So you can at least imagine that its supposed to be a Marder or Hetzer (which wasn´t used in Normandy). That´s better than those stupid mock-up Tigers. I think it´s always a pity when fake tanks are used in WW2 movies. Why can´t they just lend a tank from a museum (Bovington, Münster etc. have a running Tiger or Panzer IV). I mean Steven Spielberg directed the movie so there should have been enough money available to compensate for the temporarily loss of the vehicles. Also it´s the best form for advertising and attracting new visitors.
Sure those are old Tanks, but is there really something that could totally break and not being fixed? saving Private Ryan was partly mad in Ireland so the transport should have also been possible. But obviously money was more important than making an authentic movie. The broad audience wouldn´t get the difference I assume.
If I just had some million dollars. I would rebuild all lost WW2 tanks
