That final scene was just absurd. It's been more then 70 years now, there is no need to portray German soldiers as idiotic puppets who march to their doom singing and missing anything that they face on the battlefield.

The final scene could have made Team America if it wanted, MERICAAA FUCK YEAHHHH

Sounds like I won't be missing out on much by not seeing the movie. I don't know why it's so hard for Americans(Or humans in general) to make a semi-realistic war movie that doesn't fall into the cliche that one side are god-like beings that fight solely for justice, while the other side are barbarian savages that represents everything vile and inhuman. The closest movie that's ever achieved this is Letters from Iwo Jima where surprisingly most Japanese soldiers aren't portrayed as barbarians and cannon fodder.

The last scene of this movie sounds like something out of a comic book as well so hopefully it'll show up on Youtube later so I can get a good laugh from it.

Anyways, the scene is a pretty good representation of Sherman crews encountering Tigre tanks. A lot of the time, it took at least 5 US tanks to take out one German tank and sometimes even more. There's historical accounts of Tigers taking out entire US armoured divisions, or destroying at least 15 tanks before they were taken out.

German steel and engineering was the best in the World at that time, so this scene with the Shermans is fairly good in my opinion.
