And they were driving M24 Chaffees and calling them Shermans, while the Germans were using M47 (or 48s) and calling them Tigers...

But still... I saw it as a kid. It made quite the impression on me.

I was a young treadhead in training, in Armor AIT at Ft Knox, when it ran at the post theater, and we were treated to a showing of the movie as a training film.

And, fyi, they got the song right, as I would learn at Christmas of that year when I first partied with some German tankers. Though there's another verse that's not very politically correct, as well as the also not-korrekt sister song, Erika
