Spinechicken, as much as it troubles me to say this, methinks that is something we need to somehow learn to live with. While it may not have been accurately placed in that battle, it was probably the only "runner" they could find! Give them at least some credit for substituting a German vehicle, rather than a repainted modern AFV.

My wife won't come anywhere near a war movie if I'm watching it, because I'm so vocally pedantic. However, I have to accept this one. Now, the M7 Priests masquerading as Sturmhaubitzen in "The Rat Patrol," however, are a different story!!!!
