	Saving Private Ryan: Sav m/43
		According to Second Battle Group, a UK World War II Re-enactment Society that participated in the filming of the movie, the chassis of the two tank destroyers were original, but the hulls were rebuilt.
		During a German attack on the French village of Ramelle on June 13th, 1944, a pair of tank destroyers were employed by the I SS Panzer Corps in addition to infantry-supported Tiger tanks.
		Private Jackson identifies the tank destroyers that participate in the attack on Ramelle as "Panzers," which is the German word for "armor." Either Jackson was snoozing during German vehicle recognition classes, or he couldn't quite tell that they were tank destroyers (of two different kinds) so he opted to call them by a generic name.

		With the German submarine war heavily in progress and the German home fleet effectively bottled up by Admiral Beatty's success at Heligoland Bight, German Admiral Franz von Hipper decided to launch a raid upon three British North Sea costal towns by the German Battlecruiser Squadron, comprising five battle cruisers supported by light cruisers and destroyers.
