I don't think the Germans would give a under trained tank crew a tiger, they would give those to more experienced crews. After the ardennes, yes then there were even fewer well trained German tank crews, but in Normandy, the remaining elite units got the tigers, not some under trained crew.
Good point, makes sense.
Anyway it´s still a Hollywood movie, so we have to live with scenes which can be discussed due to realtiy. Me bothers the question, what the reallife participants from WWII would have said about this thread and all these argumantation of what was real and what was not.
Unfortunately I don´t know any former tiger crew member nor a sherman or T-34 crew member I could ask about the realsim of the final scene, as we discussed, and their own experiences.
The fact is that every participant must have been scared to death in combat no matter if you´re sitting in a trench or in a tin of steal called tank.
