True to life, the Partisans are seen using Yugoslavian Mauser M1924 rifles, and provide some to the Allied commandos.

Trivia
The tanks seen in the film are Russian T-34/85 models (the late war T-34 variant), as this part of the film was shot in Yugoslavia where T-34's were easily available. During World War II, German forces did take captured Russian tanks, immediately overpainting them with Balkenkreuz for field identification. This mostly happened on the Eastern Front and Russian tanks were not seen in the Balkans (too far south). The practice stopped since German Aircraft would strafe captured Russian armor, going mostly by general shape rather than markings to determine who was friend or foe.
