I believe there was more to the incident than that. IIRC Churchill had made it one of our highest priorities to capture a Tiger, and a team was put together and sent North Africa with the express purpose of capturing one..

Once the Tank was in British hands, Chirchill went out to North Africa to inspect it personally and to say thanks to those involved.

I did buy a paperpack book written by the British Major who was in change of the operation, although I never got around to reading more than the dust cover..Will have to see if i can find it..

Getting back to the film, Bovington also provided the Pitts Sherman as well as the Tiger...
