Well here is a curious thing.... I watched "Tea With Mussolini " last night
and as well as the Sherman in German markings with the Fuhrers finest
clinging to it, the camera suddenly changed to the famous scene in" A
Bridge To Far" when the 30 Corps Sherman's and a half track column are
ambushed as they push up hells highway in the race to get to Arnhem.
First time I have seen a movie that actually included footage from another.
Go about your lawful, NIGE

Well, OpFor at NTC had M551's dressed up as all
sorts of Soviet vehicles for the longest times.
And more than a few US AFVs have been dressed up
as German AFVs.
