Looks like a pretty good winter film, will make an effort to watch it later in the spring on my iPad.

For facts, as opposed to that kraut slanted Brit modeler's inaccurate history prattle, knocking WWII 3rd Armor Division's SSgt Poole, visit here:

or better yet read this respected Englishman's book to see why SSgt Poole's combat numbers are pretty impressive, earned as a down and dirty combat spearhead enlisted tanker.

Poole was involved in the worst "first German" contact in France and Belgium. Per 3rd AD: Pool is noteworthy as he fought in 21 separate engagements over his 81-day career. In nearly all of them, he was the lead tank in the lead platoon of the lead task force of the lead combat command of the division; the "Spearhead's Spearhead."

FYI, Warner's did Poole's story as a Hollywood film, but they stole the story and changed the names to keep things just legal enough. Film sucked.
