And you're trying to tell me realisticaly 50+ assault troops with 2 tiger tanks and a couple of panther tanks could have been taken out like that by about 10 rangers with limited ammo. Umm.....no. hake:

1st it was more than 10 Rangers (best trained elite us army unit BTW) and 101st Paras (also not exactly green recruits)
2nd a partially rubbelized city is a great place to set up an ambush, remember that, unlike the Americans, most of the Germans were armed with inferior bolt-action rifles, an MG-42 being carried has no advantage over a .30 cal that is already set up.
The Tiger tank is designed for open country and is not a city tank (according to the worlds greatest tanker: Oddball).
What Panther tanks??? all I saw was two Tigers and a couple of open-topped SPs. BTW there is no such thing as a "Panzer-tank" (this would mean armoured tank in German) eek:
