A small correction regarding a Soviet machine gun used in the film

The MG identified as a DShK is actually a DS-39, which was intended by the Red Army to replace their old Maxim M/1910 machine guns. Although better than the Maxim in various ways, at least on paper, it suffered from serious reliability issues and was withdrawn from service around 1941/42. You can actually also briefly see the DS-39 in the original 1955 version of Tuntematon Sotilas, when a Finnish soldier is seen carrying the MG with the tripod attached in archive footage (light weight/easy transportability was one of those advantages the DS-39 had over the Maxim).
