 FACT: At the end of the film, German Mk. VI (Tiger) Tanks take part  in the battle. The US Army didnt come up against any Mk. VI in the  NW Europe campaign until after the Normandy breakout. Before this  there were only three Tiger Tank Battalions in Normandy, and they  were where the rest of the vast majority of the German Armoured  Divisions were, in front of 2nd British and 1st Canadian Armies.
