Moved from Main Page --Mauser 00:40, 21 March 2011 (CDT) The Sturmgewehr 44 is still being manufactured in Germany. A German firearms company is re-making the StG-44 as a new gun and selling it to civilians and collectors world wide, except for America, where the BATFE has banned its' import. That same German company also makes a new version of the classic MP40 for sale as well.

Germans smashing their 98k

From main page- at the end of the film, where surrendering German soldiers are smashing their pristine Karabiner 98k rifles against the ground prior to the arrival of the Red Army (albeit a scene which made me wince at the thought of all those beautiful guns destroyed...yeow!.)

Maybe they traded their rifles with the Russians?


Looks like their smashing the Russian's Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine!--Mauser 00:47, 21 March 2011 (CDT)

Unknown pan magazine fed machinegun

Considering that this movie is meticulously historically correct, that light machine gun is probably a stolen Russian DP or DPM. -Deafmatch 12:07, 24 March 2011 (CDT)

  • DP28, I'd say, from the way the bipod is angled towards the muzzle rather than straight and looks to be attached to the bottom of the barrel shroud rather than the top. Vangelis2 13:21, 24 March 2011 (CDT)
You're right, I changed the page. -Deafmatch 13:11, 25 March 2011 (CDT)

MG34

Is it possible that the MG34 used in the movie is in fact a mocked- up PKM because the LMG in the picture looks like one to me.-Villagefroid 18:42, September 18 2011 (CDT)
