In the movie incorrectly is called "Ferdinand". It was a usual mistake when almost all German assault guns were called "Ferdinand". Now it's exposed in the Kubinka museum

The thing i=at 8.00 seems to me to be an MG turret from a fortification, perhaps asking on the Fortifications section might get a proper identification.

Hi Alan,
It is called a Panzernest.
They were used as mobile MG pillboxes.
There are only a few left in the world.
If you google Panzernest you will find a lot of pictures and info.
Greetings Jack.
