okay, but i`m not shure if i can make it.Well, september is to early for me,i guess.I thought i could visite the states at june 2003 for the MAAM's WWII Weekend June 6,7 & 8th, but i run out of money,was unemployed this time. Now the situation has changed,i found a job as a gardener.When i earn enough money, so i will take a trip to the states for 1 or 2 months, so i had enough time for pleasure and entertainment.
I think i can make it around spring 2004 earlyest, if i not run out of luck again, let you know when i`m ready. Thanks for the offer.

Re: Saving Private Ryan
Actually, that's not a Tiger. That's a T-34 chassis with a Tiger body built up around it with sheet metal. It still gets the job done though.Chris_Konig wrote:In Saving Private Ryan , they had actual Higgins Landers and a Tiger Tank and a Hanomag (German Half Track).

Movies.
Its part of the attraction of going to the movies to look and see what efort has gone into aquiring vechiles , adapting and creating them .
The Battle of the Bulge must take the Prize for the all time Turkey of Turkies.
No effort made to do anything , a bad film best watched for its poor script and acting...which apart from Robert Shaw , who did the best he could with a bad script it was unforgetably bad!
Movie makers seem to be going for better standrds today ...the airport scene at Stalingrad is pretty good by any standards.

Re: wheels of terror
I think they were SU 85 Soviet tank destroyers, based on the T 34 hull. No idea what they were supposed to be, StuGs possibly. There was also a Horch 15 with a bloody awful paint scheme later in the film.ruma wrote:what tank do the "hero"group have in the movie Wheels of Terror. In the books they're Tigers, but in the movie it certainly isn't Tiger...
Regarding other films, the Krauss-Maffei Sdkfz 7 seen in the Dirty Dozen might have been the same one used in A Bridge Too Far.
The Marder III Ausf M in Private Ryan (the one that gets firebombed) is apparently original and was displayed at Beltring a couple of years back. The other "Marder" was possibly ex Swedish Army and "dressed up" for the film (later used in the John Thaw series Monsignior Renard, I think).
As far as I am aware, there are no original Tiger tanks in the films i have seen. Kelly's Heroes and Private Ryan used T34s with fibreglass superstructures to make them look likt Tigers. Mind you, they did look quite good.
Band of Brothers featured a convincing Jagdpanther (built on a T54 chassis?) and StuG IIIs on FV 432 chassis.
The 1950s Czech movie Closely Observed Trains had what looked like genuine Hanomag Sdkfz 251 halftracks in it.
about he movie of PATTON
I think thats is a great movie, but the vehicles werk!
I see american tanks with swastikas paint in the tanks, a modern tank maybe 1965 more or less.
well, is a great movie, simply need more realism, because the people who know about tanks and WWII then says that not a great movie.
Adios
