The film creates the false impression that large numbers of American tanks sacrificed themselves against the heavy Tiger IIs and in the process lured the enemy off course, which caused them to run out of gas . In reality, they were already stranded . The tanks used, despite the claims of the producer in an interview, which is one of the DVD extras, are not historically accurate . Although the M24 Chaffee light tanks used in the scene were World War II - era vehicles, they were not in use in the scale shown in the film and were relatively rare . </P> <P> The US M47 Pattons as representing German King Tiger tanks and the M4 Shermans, as represented by the M24 Chaffees, contributed much to the myth or' meme' of the' superior size and firepower which US armor had to contend with .' However, in World War II, that was actually the task and work of the (mobile) artillery . </P> <P> Aside from the initial American encounters with the German offensive is the absence of cold weather and snow, which were the conditions in which the real battle was fought . There is no trace of snow at all in the film's major tank battle scene, and some battle scenes were fought in flat and bare territory, unlike the mountainous, forested and grassy nature of the Ardennes . The film was shot on location in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range and Madrid, Spain . </P>
