Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k rifle is seen in several scenes. German soldiers (including Hitler himself), and later the SS, are seen with this weapon. This is anachronistic as this rifle did not become active until June 1935. The Karabiner 98k may be standing in for the Mauser 98AZ Artillery Carbine in the World War I scenes.

The "MG08" in action. It differs from an actual Maxim by a few key points. The most noticable is the portruding barrel from the water jacket: It is too high compared to the original which had the barrel portrude from the near bottom of the water jacket. (see above image of original Maxim)

Vickers Mk1 machine gun

During the 1919 German Revolution, the anti-communist "Freikorps" use a Vickers Mk1 against the communist "Spartacists" during the "Spartacist Uprising" in 1919.
