While watching The Battle of the Bulge (1966), one might find it odd that the Germans fighting a 1944 battle are riding around in American tanks from the 1950's.
Same’s true with Patton (Yanks in M41 tanks versus Krauts in M48s). For stuff like that, ya gotta give ‘em some wiggle room...Shermans and Panzers were just a *little* tough to get hold of by then!
