[edit] Status of Big Joe?
I'm just guessing that Big Joe is in charge of a squad (could be a platoon, but I don't remember there being that many men), although IMDB lists him as a MSgt. Clarityfiend 00:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Then it's probably a platoon. Keep in mind that they're supposed to have been in active frontline duty for a while and have an uninterested/incompetent CO, so may be in dire need of replacements. 77.98.223.49 (talk) 08:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Real Tigers?
I have no idea whether they're real or not, so I'm allowing for both possibilities in the comments. Somebody better qualified can decide. I also removed the Saving Private Ryan connection. Clarityfiend 04:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not changing the article as I can't be 100% sure, but all the ones I saw were T-34s, you can tell by the position of the turret- too far forward for a Tiger but just right for a T-34. MartinMcCann 19:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
These mock ups are fairly good from the tracks up, but the biggest give away is that the tiger had it's driving sprockets at the front and the track had nearly three times as many links, this type of mock up IS used in saving private ryan, also the t34 had a diesel engine (which can be see smoking in the film )and the tiger was petrol (so that the smoke from a diesel did not give away your position) tim -20,7.06
There are no real Tigers in this movie, period. They are all vis-mods.
Zimmerit was not anti-magnetic. It was applied to defeat magnetic AT hollowcharges and did this by: 1. Putting some distance between the mine's magnets and the surface of the tank 2. Creating a rough, uneven surface giving the magnets trouble holding the weight of the mine
[edit] Patton satire
As a nameless editor noted, Patton was released a mere four months before KH, so it is unlikely that O'Connor was satirizing it. Until somebody finds proof otherwise, I've removed it (screwed up the edit explanation though). Clarityfiend 05:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor changes in Production Information
I have added some minor details to make that particular section more accurate. I felt that since it was the SFRY at that time then it should be mentioned that way in the article, to make it more correct.SAWGunner89 01:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Location of making
I do not know was it filmed in Croatia, or Bosina-Herzegovina, but I`m sure that some scenes were made in Serbia, In village of Vrdnik, at the entrance of coal mine. So I added Serbia in locations of making scenes. Regards, The.nikopol 17:59, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
