Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
Battle of the Bulge is the 1965 World War II film that follows the events that occurred during the German winter offensive of 1944. Like a lot of World War II films of the time, this film features an all-star cast including Henry Fonda, Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, and Robert Shaw. While the film does feature several impressive tank battle sequences, many of the events and characters in the film were fictionalized for dramatic purposes.
The following firearms can be seen in the film Battle of the Bulge:
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand was the most common weapon among US infantrymen during WWII. The M1 Garand is carried by numerous US soldiers throughout the film.
M1 Garand (sniper scope)
An M1 Garand fitted with a scope is used by Sgt. Duquesne (George Montgomery), possibly a M1C or D Garand.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is seen briefly held by a German infiltrator disguised as a US soldier.
M3 Grease Gun
The M3 Grease Gun is the most common submachine gun carried by US infantrymen during WWII and is seen used by Sgt. Duquesne and Lt. Weaver.
