Ive seen the movie--read the book(s) even wrote to a few of the men who were in the battle. Also own several Bridge Too Far movie cells. These if bad memory serves me correctly are of the beginning Armored assault at the beginning of the operation, which had Col. Joe van Deleur (Sp?) as the commander in charge of that portion of the ground ops. I have a few cells showing a German PAK gun either ready-to-fire or already firing on the column of Shermans. Been too long since I last looked at the cells. I also have several Cross of Iron cells and are looking for more.

Heh heh heh--Andreas--are you talking about the Sherman tanks used in: "The Big Red One?" as the "German" tanks in question? I KNOW what you mean--when I saw this movie when it first came out back in 1980, I hated seeing Shermans as "Panzers", which were mainly used in the Kasserine Pass scenes and the scens at the "Christ on the Cross" where a platoon of Germans were trying to ambush the US Patrol. Also, wasnt there a short winter scene in which Shermans were again used?
