Two MG37(t) machine guns (a German designation for ZB-53 ) are mounted on Pz.38(t) light tank, one in turret and another one in front position. The screen machine guns differs from real ones and aren't seen firing so they are supposed to be mockups rather than real firearms.

Trivia
Error creating thumbnail: File missing A Pz.38(t) is seen during the battle.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close view of the turret.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing A German armoured car is also seen during the battle. It resembles Sd.Kfz. 222 but the gun in the turret doesn't match 20mm KwK 30 autocannon that was a standard armament for this model. The gun doesn't fire during the battle so it appears to be mockup.
