At least in the film it was Edwards, but in reality this was
the 1st Battalion, 32nd Armor, while doing maintenance work at
their Friedberg base.
SPECIAL NOTE: The 3rd Armored tanks shown throughout
the movie are the M-48 Patton, which had a combat weight of 47
tons and fired a 90mm round. The newer and faster M-60, which
weighed 53 tons and fired a 105mm, did not arrive in Europe until
1961-62.
