'Der Tiger'.

'Der Tiger', new Amazon offering, they're comparing it to 'Das Boot'...
in a big tank!

There's a trailer up on Youtube.

Oh dear, spot the deliberate mistake!

 The drivers vision port on the wrong side?

Looks like the thumbnail image was mirrored; the commander's hatch is flipped also...

I’m guessing it’s a long film: one hour of exciting operation/action then you’re watching ten hours of maintenance and repairs - let’s hope the colonel is nearby!

Tom wins the life sized inflatable Tiger tank!
Good news the dustbin moves to the proper side in the trailer.

I just watched the comments of Panzermuseum in Munster who were advising (Bovington and several German military experts did too).
The movie is said to be an acceptable compromise between storytelling and historical accuracy. Conclusion is that it’s worth to see it on the big screen and not to be biased by negative comments based on opinions about the trailer.

At least it’s not Sisu - a potentially great film (slightly) ruined (for me) by the lack of effort representing the secondary main character: the Cold War Russian ersatz stug! (Why couldn’t they just have made a reasonable looking superstructure to go on top of the tank they used? Doesn’t have to be perfect just look like you care!). At least that won’t happen again…. (watches Sisu 2 trailer and sees the PSH-77/Altyn style helmets on the motorcycle riders………)

I’ve added some bracketed qualifiers in italics as my original post made it sound like I didn’t enjoy the film as much as I did.

I've watched and enjoyed Sisu, but as the over the top action flick it is, as opposed to it being a historically correct documentary (then again; maybe it was ). Props and vehicles are representative to me, just like the improperly scaled and proportioned miniatures we use on the tabletop

This looks harmless, and its a long time since I've watched anything with a pseudo Tiger in it soooo...

@Daeothar:
How dare you sir! My 1:100 tanks are the exact scale for my 15mm chaps surrounded by my weird stunted trees, using guns with a 20ft effective range. This isn’t sci-fi gaming you know ……..

I do agree, it was a fun film and I did enjoy it. And I’ll watch and enjoy the second I don’t doubt. I just thought it was a shame to put so much passion into a piece of work but not even try and do something to make it look closer to what it was representing (and it didn’t really ever come over as actual laziness but rather practicality and budget driven). It’s not like there are working WW2 tanks in every back yard. Hmm….. Off to build an mdf stug shell for my Octavia and rent it out to Hollywood! 

@Harry Faversham: thank you for posting about this as I hadn’t seen or heard anything about it and I shall look forward to it.

Das Boot on tracks? 

If you think a sub smells bad inside, try living in a tank. It’s … more primitive 

I’ll look for it, whatever, I cancelled Disney+ today for (redacted reasons, wink, read through Reddit to figure it out).
