xmas viewing post-mortem

"Tee-vee, what cha doing to me??"
Amid the usual dross, the xmas schedules usually chuck up a couple of war flicks of varying quality, and one i'd never really caught before was Night of the Generals. It's quite a while since I read the novel so not quite sure how faithful it stayed to Kirst's book, but rather enjoyed it in any case.
anyhow, hardware-wise, does anyone know how they mocked up those 'tigers' in the warsaw scene? for a war flick of its vintage, those are pretty good pseudo-tigers (altho whether the presence of a tiger in such an action in warsaw in late 42 would have been realistic is another matter I'm guessing).
