At the night before Final Battle against Kuromorimine Girls High School on
episode 10, all girls from Usagi Team are seen watching a movie, and it looks
like a movie about tank.

What did the girls from Usagi Team watch on Final Eve?


They were watching [Kelly's
Heroes.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly's_Heroes) It's an old war movie
in 1970 about a group of American soldier who tried to rob a bank far behind
enemy line.

While the original poster looks different, it match with Japanese poster for
the movie

The scene they were watching is around 1:56:00 when Oddball and Kelly, the
main character, shoot down a Tiger, the same tank with Kuromorimine's tank.

**Notes:**

  * The girls seems to use the same tactic against Elefant, they manages to outmaneuver Elefant, and shoot it down from behind in a narrow road. Initially, they shouted, "Operation: Kelly's Heroes".
  * When Yukari infiltrated Saunders, she called herself "Sgt. Oddball, third class" from the "6th Armored Division." Which I believe came from Oddball from Kelly's Heroes
