In the World War II world in the third season of "Western World", the crew may think that they have done a great job, but there are actually problems.
Let me talk about the crew's confidence
As soon as the SS came out, the crew showed a deep understanding of the German army in World War II in the details:
A long-barreled No. 3 assault gun flashed past, the body color was yellow instead of German gray in many video games. This is in line with history. Since 1942, some German troops on the Eastern Front began to paint tanks in yellow instead of gray. In February 1943, the German High Command ordered all tanks to be painted yellow.
The military uniforms of the SS soldiers who appeared on the stage were definitely not the M32 silver and black uniforms in the old film and television series-including "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" and "Seventeen Moments of Spring" have made this mistake. Since 1939, Germany has stopped downloading. M32 is issued and changed to military uniforms similar to the Wehrmacht style, which only a few veterans can wear.
Their military uniforms are both plain grey and earthy brown. Among them, the earthy brown uniforms are rarely shown in film and television. The last one was probably "Operation Apes" which showed the assassination of Heydrich?
These SS helmets do not have any decals, which is also correct.
In some film and television games, the German soldiers of World War II are always stuck on one side of the German flag tricolor shield badge, on the other side is the service decal, and the SS is stuck on double lightning. This is a misunderstanding.
Since 1940, the decals were gradually eliminated, and only a few officers and non-commissioned officers found a way to find decals.
Some of the soldiers wear long boots, and some of them are short, which is also correct.
Although the high-waisted boots of the Germans in World War II were very impressive, as the war broke out, there were more and more boots, and in the end they were almost indistinguishable from high-waisted leather shoes.
After Italy surrendered, there were really many guerrillas fighting the Axis powers, and their combat effectiveness was quite good.

But are the props in the World War II world done right?
The battle for military uniforms
For example, the uniform styles of several SS officers, some are wearing gray-collar uniforms, and some are wearing green-collar uniforms. The epaulettes worn by the SS officer who investigated the protagonist Maeve have a metal embroidered military symbol.
Both gray-collar uniforms and green-collar uniforms exist in the history of the German army, but they were allotted before the war. The gray-collar uniform was roughly before 1934, and the green-collar uniform was roughly 1935-1940. Since it is the story of the winter defense era, it will not be earlier than 1943, so why are these SS officers wearing uniforms from years ago and still so new? For example, the uniform styles of several SS officers, some are wearing gray-collar uniforms, and some are wearing green-collar uniforms. The epaulettes worn by the SS officer who investigated the protagonist Maeve have a metal embroidered military symbol.

The metal embroidery on the epaulettes is also wrong. Since 1940, Germany has cancelled the metal embroidery on the epaulettes in order to save raw materials.
……………… The problem is focused on the leader of the SS flag captain (equivalent to a colonel).
Grey collar uniform with six buttons.
The six-buckle uniform is a unique style of the National Defense Forces, and the gray collar has been eliminated when the six-buckle is adopted.
I seriously suspect that the director feels that the more buttons and the darker the collar, the bigger the official.
Of course, if you want to say that the Captain Qi’s personal order is unique, I have nothing to say.
Behind the medal
The medals and honor lists of the flag captain are also very interesting.
The medals are as follows,
Right (by the wearer's left and right):
German Gold Cross Medal,
middle:
Grade II iron cross ribbon,
left:
Silver melee assault badge,
Nazi Party gold emblem,
Iron Cross First Class,
Silver assault infantry combat badge,
Ordinary assault medal.
In terms of medal setting, the crew is full of intentions to show off their skills:
Your other movies and TV series like to arrange a knight's cross to be worn on the neck for the German officer, I don't!
The banner captain was assigned three medals with the name "Assault". Imagine such a high rank, but gathered all the medals that can only be obtained by outstanding performance in close combat.
………………slightly
But why didn't such a fierce person get the Knight's Cross? This is a problem.
Looking at the honor list again, the honor list of the captain of the banner is also rich in stories, from left to right:
1914 Class II Iron Cross Form,
Maria Theresa Military Cross (Austro-Hungarian Empire),
Finnish Sabre White Rose Cross (Knight Sabre),
The Bavarian Military Meritorious Cross List,
Bronze Sabre Cross of Military Merit (Austro-Hungarian Empire),
1942 National Nursing Medal Form (the Medal Form has a saber ornament),
The SS 12-year loyal service award form,
The Leopold War Order (Austro-Hungarian Empire) or the Three-Leaf Order of Iron (1941, Croatia),
Western Front Defense Order (Western Wall Medal),
……slightly
There is a possibility that the director took all the honour list patterns of the German army during World War II, and randomly picked a few with swords, eagles and Nazi symbols, and consciously looked very powerful, and then asked the prop master to prepare?
And because the time set was not earlier than 1943, the hoon list should be arranged in accordance with the regulations of 1942, and the arrangement in the play is wrong.
The crew clearly understands that the Audi Empire/Austria, the Bavarian Order of Merit was also counted as a national order of honor by the Germans during World War II, and it ranks high.
However, the Finnish honour list is a foreign honour list, and its position should be last, not third.
The arrangement of the 1942 National Nursing Order Form is controversial. Some people say that it is a civil order form and should be at the back. Some people say that it should be second only to the Iron Cross Form. No matter which way it is said, the arrangement here is wrong.
If the second-to-last is the Leopold War Order of Austro-Hungary Empire, which belongs to the High Order of World War I, it should be ranked first. If it is the three-tier iron three-leaf order of Croatia, it should be ranked as a foreign order. Behind the list of defensive honors on the Western Front.
Therefore, the crew spent so much effort to dig out so many uncommon honor lists, and the results were arranged in the wrong way. It is a pity that it can be regarded as one of the elements of the rollover.
……slightly
Just such an old German officer who had been on the battlefield was just a flag captain in the middle and late stages of the war. He didn't even become a general and didn't have the Knight's Cross. He had to carry a submachine gun to search for the guerrillas.
It always makes people feel that something is wrong.
……slightly
Therefore, although the World War II scenes in "Western World" corrected the mistakes in some previous film and television dramas, the crew made a new prop error as soon as they proudly showed off their knowledge. Historical research has a long way to go.
