Caught something interesting a few weeks back while I was watching Saving Private Ryan. Let me know if you happen to catch it:

I got one yesterday from MD. Well that just makes it extra special.

Wow, awesome find! I've seen that movie so many times but never noticed. I wonder if it is intentional or just a quirk? BTW, is that a real Marder III or a replica?

IIRC it was tauted as/is real by the owner of the Marder.

I still don't know with all the research they claimed they did for the movie, there were so many mistakes in final battle part.

At the time/area..No 2nd SS
2nd SS didn't have Tigers
The Swedish SPG..what the hell. They could have just as well used a Hetzer/G13..least that would have been german.

I just watched it the other night, and I hadn't seen it in forever. I saw the Marder and I never noticed there was one before. But it's cool that it's the same turret number.

I never noticed it before now.

I think I was too busy thinking about the Sticky bombs and the 20mm cannon that was turning the GI's into hamburger.

Pretty close to the

of real war I'm guessing.

That 20mm was vicious.

Yeah, I had never seen such carnage before except maybe in a horror movie. But the reality hit me, that this was the stuff they went through.

I remember looking around the theatre at the older men in the crowd crying silent tears. I had a few myself.

Those Jerry's in the Marder didn't fair too well if I remember right. They got a maltov cocktail thrown on them then mowed down.

Yeah they got roasted. The hardest part for me to watch in that movie is the scene where Mellish gets slowly stabbed to death while Upham cowers on the stairs. The scene where the medic is dying is pretty intense as well. At least Upham later shoots that guy that they beat the crap out of but then let go.

Yeah he kinda redeemed himself.

The German just passed him by on the stairs.

The medic dying was heartbreaking. They say that's what a lot of young soldiers do is call to their moms when they die.

My Marder III is on it's way from Monkey Depot for 4.95!
