"To a New Yorker like you, a Hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on 3 Tigers."

"Well, yeah, man, you see, like, all the tanks we come up against are bigger and better than ours, so all we can hope to do is, like, scare 'em away, y'know. This gun is an ordinary 76mm but we add this piece of pipe onto it, and the Krauts think, like, maybe it's a 90mm. We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. Scares the hell outta people! We have a loudspeaker here, and when we go into battle we play music, very loud. It kind of... calms us down."

"We see our role as essentially defensive in nature. While our armies are advancing so fast and everyone's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris... or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them. But for 1.6 million dollars, we could become heroes for three days."

Thank you guys, thanks for the sub drsprue, hope you enjoy the channel, there's a mix of stuff, my other hobby photography and my obsession coffee but I'm doing a lot of modelling currently.
Do you have a YouTube channel I can check out?
Great quotes from Oddball above, easily the best character in the entire film. (My fave war movie).
