Theirs is the Glory (1946)
This movie is actually a half-document about the Operation Market Garden and British troops fighting in it. It’s very interesting in one aspect: its creators used real life German vehicles and weapons during the production, so we can see Panthers rolling around, not something you will see in modern movies. Well, maybe except for the upcoming Fury.
I like trains.
Time to go sleep… well one more youtube vid.
Lol, Panther with hole in turret .
They should put there sticker at least
It’s market garden not marked garden.
And obviously real vehicles would’ve been used it’s about one year after the war is over
Thanks, fixed
Full movie, damn, like I have nothing else to do already.
Ok, I don’t.
Ok, I have to be ready for my exams. But, but, but, this is a priority.
STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS!!
Sorry about that, it’s late.
Too much sugar?
Maybe, maybe.
It also stars a lot of the paras who were actually there. A great film. As I recall there is a real Panzer IV in it as well.
“Sunday Night Cinema”
I hope this reoccurs so long as we can find period or near period Public Domain tank films.
There happens to be a well known “Tiger I” in Fury (2014).
I wonder if this is the real Tiger 131? probably not right?…
Yes it is Tiger 131. It is also the Tigers first outing ever as a movie star.
I happen to recall reading a report of the Germans specifically making the ammo so as to not smoke that much… I think the effects guys are overdoing it at 35:15. That poor Panther… A hole in the turret is not too big of a problem as the tank is still mostly bullet proof to most shells. But hey that engine sounds sweet as a pearl. Give that HL 230 P30 some love.
Market Garden? I only remember watching it from Band of Brothers
It’s probably not a PD film, but don’t forget one of the greats (imho) covering Market Garden is “A Bridge too Far”. Lots of lovely armour in that too.
Watch A Bridge Too Far, based on the same book (also highly recommended): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075784/
Impressive cast, bunch of real life participants of the battle serving as advisers and some pretty good fighting scenes with tanks.
Edit: andy beat me to it
Apologies! But I’m glad someone else likes the film too. Yes I forgot about the cast, some big names there.
No worries :)
I have the book as well, pretty good read.
Count me in too! :)
Apparently the Panzer 88 horror movie will have tanks built by Weta workshop, so while they won’t be the real things they will probably look pretty damn close (better then a T-34 turned into a tiger etc)
I went to search for that movie , Fury.
I found this , looks pretty good :

Look great, very authentic. I hope it will at least be as half as good as Saving private ryan.
But why Brad pitt? He’s such a crappy actor. Hope he won’t ruin the movie.
What’s wrong with Brad Pitt?
Let’s hope it’s more accurate than U-571…
woot it’s even in 720p HD :)(
The Longest Day was pretty good as well.
Although I think it is better in black and white. (Yes there is a color version.)
