All that talk about Das Boot being about the scary claustrophobic environment got me thinking. Has anyone ever made a movie about a tank crew? Talk about TRUE claustrophoby! At least they could move around in a sub. But take three or four guys glued to their seats with all the horrible noise and gun powder gases - and you got one super-stressful environment. And if that's not enough, imagine it now crawling along the bottom of a river, fifteen feet under water with its snorkel barely making it above the surface... Imagine now that there is an alien in the gun breech - and you got a perfect plot for George Lucas.So, anyone remembers any tank crew movies? I recall a couple of Russian ones, but don't remember the titles. One was about that legend - the Russian POW is ordered to run the disarmed T-34 through its paces while the German anti-tank crews are testing their weapons. He escapes, destroys few anti-tank guns and their crews, and for days runs over the German roads creating a lot of horror.
When he is finally caught, the German general tell him before shooting him: "You are the best soldiers I have ever met, but the best soldier must be in the German army!".
Any other movies about those brave sacrificial guys?
