1st SS Leibstandarte (Stabswache), that tanker is hardcore! Hitler's personal guard staff! No wonder he's guarding the gold.

The Tiger had a powered turret with handcrank as backup option.

Always liked this part for the sound the tank turret made when turning. It made the Tiger seem more ominous.

Tiger tank replicas on Russian chassis are among the most common film tanks used in the industry. the "Tiger-34" seen here is just one example. another is the "Tiger-55" made on the chassis of a T-55, as seen in the Russian film about the Battle of Kursk which was so convincing, clips of the film are often seen in Documentaries about the Tiger tank. more recently is the Tiger-34 from Saving Private Ryan, and the Tiger-55 seen in Band of Brothers.

the great fear of the tiger was created by it's thick armor and it's 88mm gun, better than anything the US or British had on their tanks. however, the Tigers were also fuel-thirsty, which was something that Germany couldn't afford late in the war. they were also, like many German tanks, maintenance intensive. another drawback was it's slow turret speed, as it only had a hand crank, unlike the electric on the T-34 as seen on the "Tiger-34" in this scene.

The three Tiger I tanks used in the film were actually ex-Soviet Army T-34 tanks, converted in great detail by specialists of the Yugoslav army for the 1969 movie The Battle of Neretva.
