Corrected entry: In the massacre scene, an officer has an MG-34 machine gun on the Tiger Tank. This is incorrect, for the MG-34 was put out of action in 1942. This movie takes place in December, 1944. It should be an MG-42 machine gun instead.

Correction: The MG42 was a development of the MG34, specifically to make it easier and cheaper to produce and easier to maintain and more reliable in the field. The MG34 wasn't withdrawn when the MG42 was introduced as it still outclassed all Allied light and medium machine guns and Germany couldn't afford, in the middle of the war, to scrap a proven weapon simply becaue they had an improved version. In fact the MG34 was used as armament on newly built AFVs untill the end of the war.
