Cannot find exact info but I doubt they use M24 Chaffee in the real battle. Most likely M4 Sherman were used. However the movie maker cannot find enough M4 to do the scene, this was made way before CGI was available.
That was common of that time. During the filming of Battle of the Bulge, they used Chafees and as tiger tanks they used Patton tanks from the Korean war as there was a big surplus of them available.
@@aaronblaylock2092 It is very acceptable for that era even for military guru like me. Frequently for Tiger I they use a Soviet T34 with some props on top resulting the turret too far forward for a Tiger.
In fact M24 Chaffee's would be correct for that period of WW2. The M24 was a light tank replacment for the M5 Stuart tank and the first ones arrived in the European Theater in December of 1944. This is actually one of the few WW2 films that had period correct tanks in it.
Among tank nerds it is well known that the attack was led by four brand new M26 Pershing tanks. The M24 is correct for the period, and the 9th Armored Division probably had some.
Yes there is a very good scene where a German mother confronts him about the death of her son on the battlefield: 'Germany has lost four million sons' He has no answer when she screams 'I miss him!'
The story behind the making of the film would make an amazing movie. The Russians invaded in the middle of filming and were shocked to find what they thought was an American army!
❤I rate it in top 10 WW2 war moviesof the 500 I have seen. The efforts involved making this masterpiece is mind boggling. Superb filming. Thanks for the excellent upload.
I always remember the "pew pew" from those tanks in this movie, like star wars shooting. Cant imagine thats the real sound, must have added them in later
I can't speak for am M-24 but I witnessed a firing demonstration of an M-60 back in 1975. Believe me, that main gun made a boom like thunder and the ground shook 75 yards away! Tank guns don't go "Pew-Pew!" That's an added sound effect. Why they chose that one I have no idea.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706I was in a tank battalion in the Corps in the 80s, and spent 4 years with those M60s. The ground shook and vibrated from the main guns going off.

@@blockmasterscott Well Semper Fi my friend! I saw that aforementioned M-60 demonstration on the tank firing range at Camp Lejeune in 1975, this was part of my Basic School company's BASCOLEX excercise. Maybe there was more than one range, I was only at Lejeune twice, but as I recall the impact zone was on the far side of the Intracoastal Waterway. It was a pretty unforgettable experience.
Good film with plenty of action. The storyline portrayed the climate of the March 1945 western front very well, as the Allies raced to capture any bridge that could get them across the Rhine river. George Segal and Ben Gazzara were excellent in their parts.
Sadly Yes, I cringe every time I see it. What really bugs Me is that in most films at the time this was made they would usualy use American trucks with crosses on to represent German vehicles but the one time You would want them to do that they instead use a real rare WW2 Steyr 1500 and destroy it, WHYYYYYYYY ???? Its enough to make You Weep😭 What the Hell were they thinking? 🙄
What I always liked about this movie is that it portrays both sides as humans. Not that I am fan of the Germans but too many war films portray them as stupid brainless and dehumanized creatures which I really hate.
Excellent film l've seen countless times . Great actors and a cynical ,war weary and jaded late 60's feel to it with no gung ho , OTT scenes and believable characters heartily sick of the war and just wanting to survive .The opening scene with the Chaffees barrelling down the road while firing on the 88's which have opened up on them from the opposite bank is one of my all time favourites as is this Street fighting scene in a German Town .
In 1968 there were enough cars of the 30"s and 40"s to scrap or demolish for a film like this.... No one would care.... nowadays, they are on an auction....
At the bottom left the volkstrum guy throws a frag grenade or AT grenade at the tracks, which detonates, but is ineffective. They run away after it blows.
The film was made in 1968, just before the "Chechoslowakian Spring" on wich the local Communists decided to introduce a more modest way of Communism... The land was under the influence of the USSR. The Kremlin did not accept this, and they invade the country with force. Tanks against peaceful and amazed civilian protesters.... The filming had just ended, and the whole filmcrew and actors had to leave the country fast. Now the real Sovjet tanks were rolling in the streets... How little is changed..... Now this former Warschaupact land is with NATO. People wonder why, and blame NATO for expension towards the East... Well. In 1968, the border NATO, Warschaupact was halfway Germany, and Europe. Former Warschaupact country's know how it is to be under the boot of the Kremlin....
While in US Army stationed in West Germany during the 1980s, used to patrol; the East/West German borders and the West German/Czech borders, Even have photos of the warning signs saying how close to border you are.
Chaffee was light / medium tank and replaced the Stewart by the end of WWII as scouts, etc. Clearly not the tank you could expect in the story of the film. They got not longer enough Shermans running.... and no CGI. And definetly no "History Pedants" 😂 .
You talk shit. It was Most, not Pilsen (I doubt you even know where Pilsen lies), and it was abandoned because of the coal mining. Therefore the rest of the abandoned city was used for various war movies. It had nothing to do with any "being German city".
The town is like a german town. Of course, it is from Sudetenland, ancient german province of Austrian empire, clear out of german population, with terrific massacres, like Aussig in 1945, Ethnic cleansig by pro-allied government of Czekoslovakia...
You better learn history, “ancient German province” 😂😂. This region was always (almost a thousand years) a part of Czech Kingdom and yes Czech Kingdom was a part of Habsburg monarchy for some centuries and yes there was German ethnic population too, but there never was anything called Sudetenland, this was just a nazi construct.
I confim that I say; the germans (Sudetendeutschen) in this area were victims of a ethnic cleansing: 3 millions of people were expelled in 1945-46, in horrific conditions. Your remarks indicated that you approve this crime. The use of the word "nazzi" is very easy to prevent to think. Pils beer was not czech, but german!!!@@dinardinar3970

Actually filmed in Most Czechoslovakia a town which was scheduled to be demolished and therefore ideal for filming.
I was wondering about that. I thought, where in the world did they get a town that was willing to be destroyed during filming?

The film 📽️ was filmed during the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968. The film 📽️ crew and actors got out of there.
A careful look at the credits, will show Hal Needham as the stunt coordinator. ( Hal directed Smokey & the Bandit)

They were supposed to be M26 Pershing
Reconnaissance unit. They were M 24s
Only a handful of Pershing’s saw combat in WW2, and none at remagen
The definitive history of the Pershing by Hunnicutt says otherwise.
At 2:36 I wonder if that tank was scripted to blow. Or did that tanks motor actually blow for real?
At the bottom left the volkstrum guy throws a frag grenade or AT grenade at the tracks, which detonates, but is ineffective. They run away after it blows.
why send one tank in with no infantry support what are they Russian?
They knew they were going to get their hair mussed as soon as they turned that corner.
