Yes, I'll recommend this too! Now, I'm not sure the T-62 (T-72?) in the
film
was historically armed with a flamethrower, but the movie is one of
those
little known gems. I really liked it!

Another film, that's rather controversial, that I liked was "On A
Midnight
Clear". It's about a group of above average intelligence US recruits
operating
as an intelligence/reccon unit during the Bulge. I enjoyed the character
play,
but the homo-erotic undertones of one of the scenes near the end (which
I
actually took to represent more of a Christian baptism and cleansing)
has
turned off some...
