Yes there are many really bad “documentaries” out there. Some are better described as works of fiction. There are also many written works equally as bad.
The documentary that I referred to in my previous post is of a much higher standard, even thought it is American made, and only covers American subjects. It was two hours long and there are no talking heads making stupid comments. It was just about the film clips, which were shown in their proper time sequence. The only comments were concerning the details of the shots, with regard to who the camera men were, where and when the films were made and some detail of the circumstances and the units depicted.
As for the Köln Panther, there were two camera men, one with the infantry who got the shots of the Panther burning, and a second with the tanks, which were M26’s. They looked just like the standard M26’s. The Panther got in the first shot and KOed one of the American tanks before it was taken out by a second tank.
