    One fo the so-called "Goofs" on the German helmets being WWI vintage--true to an extent but these in this film are TRANSITIONAL helmets which means--they WERE used in WWII. Just because you see German helmets with Gas mask lugs on the sides--does NOT mean they were M-16 or M18 lids.

    This movie was what made Humphrey Bogart, a favorite of mine. He was very good as the tank Sergeant. Also, having Bruce Bennet and Dan Duryea as his crew-certainly does not hurt. Also, It was a pleasure to see a young Lloyd Bridges as a British Soldier. The German fighter pilot that they shot dows (Kurt Krueger) as a favorite German actor of mine. Kurt Krueger had lots of screen time in another great movie: The Enemy Below, w/ Robert Mitchum, Curt Jurgens and a young Doug McClure.
