I don’t know how it got past the increasingly powerful ‘All Germans were evil Nazis’ censors but Amazon has released a sympathetic portrait of a Tiger crew on the Eastern Front, translated, clunkily, as The Tank. This is still a very watchable, gripping and sometimes moving portrait of men at war, and likely the most realistic ever depiction of a second world war tank crew. The Tank does for armour what Das Boot did for submarines. The tank – a Tiger Mk 1– is based on the only surviving model at Bovington Tank Museum. The Tank does for armour what Das Boot did for submarinesMuch more enjoyable is the portrait of the tank’s crew, schematically disparate but too well-drawn to be clichés.
