(9,356 posts)I'm on Time-Warner, if that's any help.
I got "White Tiger" thru...let's say, Alternative Methods. And then had to find my own English subtitles.
Amazon has it from some sellers. I might even break down and buy a good copy with better subs.
Nice to run into another armor fan on here. I just saw "Stalingrad" today and posted a review of it. Same director who made "9th Company."
FYI, "Stalingrad" uses T-34s modified to resemble the Panzer IV. It works, sort of. They lengthened the gun barrel and used big "Schurtzen" to hide the wheels.
I spent 4 years working in Egypt, so I saw a lot of Russian and U.S. hardware there. The Egyptian version of Ft. Irwin is a place called El-Hammam. Which can be fittingly translated from Arabic as "the toilet." It's out in the desert, only about 20 miles from the El Alamein battlefield. At El-Hammam I saw acres of M-60 tanks and M-113 APCs. But I was just as likely to see T-55s running around.
