I'd Outflank The Enemey If I Could Find My Car Keys

So here we are, Dad and I, watching an old war movie "A Bridge Too Far." It's really good. Sean Connery, James Caan, Anthony Hopkins, Elliot Gould, et cetera. There's a scene in the movie where Anthony Hopkins' platoon is defending a bridge from a German Panzer division. As the Germans drove their vehicles over the bridge I got to wondering...

Do military vehicles have keys?

The reason I'm asking is because in the midst of a battle, things are bound to get quite confusing. And hell, I lose my car keys daily with the mere pseudo-complication of not having my morning coffee right away. What more with krauts shooting bullets at you.
