Saw it today, it was decent but the middle of the film drags a bit and yes, that Tiger I was the last operational Tiger tank out there. As for the crossroads being important it came up earlier in the film, a quick set of orders to take and hold it against a known enemy force and the crossroads being a open road into the American Army's backfield. There is mention of it being nothing but cooks, clerks, and medics just down the road. Though from the map you get to see it was at least five miles from crossroads to that rear area. Characters were one dimensional though, stereotypes honestly. If they had put some real action into the middle of the movie and not a 'play house with the frauliens' bit it would have been much better.
