The Movie " The Tank"

About a lone Tiger Tank on a mission (absurd), and also there is a scene where the Tiger submerges fully into a river to cross it using its snorkel system ( again absurd). Early Tigers were capable of submerging ,( this was was late in the war) it was never done, too much of a risk getting bogged/stuck in mud or obstacles under the river .

Here’s an ongoing conversation on the movie to check

Sorry,trying to post the link to the ongoing conversation about the movie,can’t get it right

Yeah, the system seems a little wonky at the moment. It should take you to the thread, not the Youtube link,.

Hi,

The best part is the ending of the movie. Everything takes place in the dead commander’s “dream”.

I’ve watched a sort of abridged version on You Tube, with the important bits in. It seems they drive into the river and stop the engine. Then when the Russians have gone they restart and drive out. Is this possible? I seem to recall the original Tigers had “flapper valves” on the exhaust to allow them to drive into the water, but I always assumed the intention was to keep moving and the engine running. The submersible gear was to allow the crossing of waterways where the tank was too heavy for the bridges, not so it could go and hide in the water.
