Well, I kinda liked it when Piep - uh sorry, Hessler got roasted alive with his own Nazi theme music playing.
I actually thought that was pretty cool. When I was 12.
Actually, the Hessler character complains bitterly to OKW about how the Malmedy massacre will make his job more difficult:
“It will turn a demoralized mob into AVENGING SOLDIERS!!”
Das Panzerlied, a real song, led off the film with the young German tankers (black was the color of armor as well as the SS) assuring Hessler of their fighting spirit.
At the end, the panzer’s crew has already fled when Hessler personally takes the controls. Unless you’re in mud, it’s pretty hard to mire a tracked vehicle; they probably had that tank anchored.
Anyway, it was fun. Hard to figure out how Hitler’s defeated legions found themselves in the middle of the arid regions of Spain.
