Stug III
On the main page it is suggested that the Stug III seen in the movie is also seen in movies filmed in the UK. Is it more likely to be one of several running models from Finland e.g. used in Tali-Ihantala 1944 and Beyond the Front Line rather than one used in British films? Brownag

Unknown MG
Soviet troops are seen using an unknown MG during the flashbacks to the Winter War. I don't think it's a Maxim M1910/30. --Funkychinaman 19:40, 4 July 2012 (CDT)
