 =Submachine Guns=
 ==MP40==
-The [[MP40]] was the most common submachine gun used by the German Army during WWII.  Popular culture has portrayed the MP40 as the most common weapon in the hands of WW2 German soldiers; this is actually incorrect, as the bolt-action Kar 98 was more common.  This is correctly depicted in the show, not being put in the hands over every German soldier.  In "Day of Days" (Ep.2), Sgt. Carwood Lipton captures one and caries it briefly in the episode.
+The [[MP40]] is seen on the wall in Richard's house.
