I'm pretty good with the Pz IV series though. Couldn't tell you the exact model, 'cause I'm not an expert on the variations on T-34s (and Sherman's for that matter). However, the T-34's look like a model that came out after the Stalingrad campaign. I used to play Talonsoft's East Front II, and I'm pretty sure that's what they are. Just looked up the scene.I'm pretty sure they're BT-7s which was Russia's Light Tank during this time. Does someone know what tanks they used there? When the Soviet tanks attack there are only a couple of T-34s but in background there are a couple of other tanks that I didn't recognize. In 'Stalingrad' there is a scene where the Germans stop T-34s with magnetic mines.

The differences between this and the M-48 is that the M-48 had wider fenders, no hull machine gun, horizontally arranged headlamps, square manlet, no side-turret mounded scopes, no storage bin on the back of the turret, and usually a different muzzlebreak. the movie was filmed in spain and they used spanish army vehicles The book includes over 100 images, including photographs of the Tiger II tanks never before published, plus detailed maps showing the routes used by the 501st Heavy SS Tank Battalion during the battle. National Archives and the German Bundesarchiv. I think that it is a M-48 Patton spanish army.
