Please forgive me if my memory is faulty in this area, I am by NO MEANS one
of these people that can tell you the make and model of armaments, aircraft,
battleships, etc. -- but I seem to recall the tank and motorcycle pairing in
the last bloody sequence of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" and as someone
else has pointed out, endless sequences of Nazi tanks and motorcycles from a
variety of fictional film sources. Is this movie magic, or might it have
been a more German specific thing? Am I totally wrong about this pairing? It
actually never occurs?
I admit that the question comes up because of something I am building. It's
no problem if it ends up being my own little fantasy, but I did think there
was a real world analogue to the idea. Perhaps not...
