Wehrmacht officers use [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1 pistols]] during the Battle of Hedosk. This is not necessarily inaccurate, as captured M1911A1 pistols were used by German forces designated as the "Pistole 660(a)". Close examination shows that the guns are not actually fired, with muzzle flashes added in post-production.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Still-holding his Thompson, the slain GI falls. PPSh-41 Both Red Army and Wehrmacht officers use the PPSh-41 (not inaccurate, many Germans fighting on the Ostfront used the PPSh-41). However, the weapon does make an appearance amongst the Labor camp guards in scenes set pre-1941, which would make it anachronistic.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing PPSh-41 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev Error creating thumbnail: File missing The PPSh-41 can be seen in the center of the frame.

Karabiner 98k "Kriegsmodell" At least one soldier can be seen with a Karabiner 98k "Kriegsmodell" rifle, a late war version of the Kar 98k intended to simplify production. Specifically this rifle is a "semi-Kriegsmodell" as it incorporates some simplification features (simpler screw retained barrel bands and no bayonet lug or cleaning rod) but not all (it still has the disk on the buttstock to aid in disassembly of the bolt).

The choice of weapon is inaccurate, but since the film was shot in Latvia and the weapon is never seen in much detail, it is probably meant to stand in for the more accurate Type Zhongzheng Rifle.
