Been years since I've seen it, but IIRC, it has an L-19 as an L-4.
Im pretty sure the tanks were wrong as well.

Pretty much a huge can of corn in CINERAMA formating, they even had to run a disclaimer in the credits they admitted they had taken things out of context and altered other facts.
I loved the Waffen M-60A-1's, the wrong topography, little to no snow, 'but other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?' Good thing there isn't 'Smellovision'

It was ghastly and I'm not just talking about the Telly Savalas love scene. Pretty sure they were M47's not M60A1's.

I still enjoy watching it.

I remember watching this film during some Memorial Day TBS marathon in the 80s with my grandfather, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge as a captain in a tank destroyer battalion. A little bit into the movie he got out of his lazy-boy, said "tssssk, what a joke this is", mixed himself a drink, and went and sat outside on the patio for the rest of the evening.

Pretty sure they were M47's not M60A1's..

Might be better to try and pick the WW2 era vehicles that were in it ...

Enjoyable film. Though not historically accurate.
