Just a thought on the final battle scene in SPR.....

No experienced German army would march a column of infantry and armour down a tight mainstreet like that. And since this is D-day plus 5 (or so) the German army has not really been decimated yet by Allied forces.

The armour would have stayed outside the city, and with mortars, shelled the city constantly. Ensure sniper perches, (like the steeple) were destroyed, Only then, would infantry enter the city, not as a long column, but in small platoons of a few men each, clearing house to house. Not running up main street.

And at the time of this happening, this group of Germans would be experienced, battle hardened veterans of the invasions of western Europe. (well, not all of them, but the senior officers and non-comms would definitely be)

But i guess that would make for a boring ending.
