If only it was just
that bad!
The Tiger gets smartened up early doors.
You've seen Zulu, right? Well, imagine the Yank tank is Bromhead's redoubt at the end and the SS Panzer Grenadiers charge it like the Zulus did in the film. That's after chucking away all the Panzerfausts they're carrying over their shoulders at the start of the action.
The tank's run over a mine and is disabled at a vital crossroads, a Battalion of SS men hove into view singing the Horst Wessel Lied. The battle's on!
Titt's character is the tank commander, called
'War Daddy', he wears cowboy boots and totes a six shooter in the tank. After getting shot 3 times by a high powered sniper's rifle, he proceeds to kill 300 Germans with his 50 cal., then drops back inside the tank and closes the lid. Inside cringes, the sole surviving crew member, the traditional hero worshiping out of his depth rookie. Titt's still got enough breath in him, to give the kid his version of the Gettysburg Address, before heroically breathing his last.
By this time I was laughing so loud they chucked me out of the cinema!
