Pretty cool. I always wonder how WW2 shows get their WW2 tanks and whatnot. Like this. Where the hell do you get a Cromwell?

Mostly, replicas or vehicles of museums are used.

Most of the german vehicles that are used in movies after the 50´are either reproductions or allied equipment with german crosses.

If you are interested in original vehicles of WWII follow the links:

1. List of original equipment survived still today:

Movie with original german equipment!!!

And here is the bad example:

Nice movie, Killar! :D

You're right about the bad example.. when I watched it the first time, I saw that one of these German tanks should be a StuG, but it was build on the chassis of a Panzer 38 (t). Just crappy.
Look at this picture - it's just ugly and has actually never existed.

Actually it should represent a marder III which was indeed build on a Czech tank. The same vehicle was used in the movie saving privat ryan. Its on the right chassis but a reproduction from a former swedish tank (sweden did build Czech tanks under license during WWII)

The stugs you see in the scene are reproductions. 2 Stugs were build for this movie using 3 FV432 chassis. 1 was build by 2 cut chassis to represent the 6th idle wheele of a stug3.



the other one had only 5 wheeles (like the original FV432 chassis). The original chassis:



The Jagdpanther in the scene (the same vehicle like in the post above by snappingturtle at 6:50) is build on a t54 or t55 tank:

I have a friend that knows someone who participated in that reenactment.
The guy in the tank got burned becouse the turret hatch was open.

A Molotov. ;D
And after the reenactment they all got drunk.
And the guy is fine, just minor burns.


Heres a great movie about the 1939 Winter War (and molotovs).
The end is... suprising. :D
