My biggest beef is the use of American tanks losely modified to look like German tanks. Case in Point Battle of the Bulge movie.

Yeah, they were. The hulls appear to ahave once been British by the roadwheel configuration but I'm not sure. The thing that ruined the whole battle scene in the town with the tigers was Tom Hanks sticking his Thompson's muzzle completely inside the Driver's vision port. Pretty strong guy to push that weapon through 6 inches of bullet proof vison block!

Other than that and the hand to hand scene where the SS mann dispatches the Ranger with the knife while the Ranger says "Wus Up?", "Wus Up?" in extremely modern vernacular, I liked the movie.
