Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn all of his films, Samuel Fuller--who wrote the story for this film, but not the screenplay--has a character named "Lemcheck". In this film it's a sergeant, played by Harry Bellaver.
- GoofsThe main characters are assigned to crew an M26 Pershing tank armed with a 90 millimeter gun, with which they breach the Siegfried Line in Germany sometime in the Fall of 1944. In actuality, the M26 Pershing did not become operational until February 1945. Furthermore, the actual tank used in the movie was an M46 Patton, a post-World War II upgrade of the M26 which did not enter service until 1949.

Featured review
Tanks a million, a million tanks to Warner Brothers
The best thing that The Tanks Are Coming is good use of actual combat footage
well integrated into the film. A whole lot like the Sands Of Iwo Jima in the
Pacific Theater. Unfortunately said footage is tied to a rather pedestrian story.
As a lad I remember reading those Sergeant Rock comic books and watching Steve Cochran and the rest of the cast I got the feeling that I was looking at one of those comic books come to life. It shocks me though that Samuel Fuller wrote the original story. That man certainly went on to do bigger and better things in the war film genre.
Not the best work for any of the cast and crew.
