* (SS Foreign Volunteers Group) This film should be one of the very few war films in the 70 years after the war, and it may even be the first war story that mentions SS foreign volunteer soldiers, which is gratifying. Under the increasing pressure of war personnel and Himmler's instruction, SS had recruited many non-German troops during the war. The outside world has always thought that the SS was a pure-blooded German Nazi Party army. It was the result of the efforts of the German propaganda machine. In fact, it was not at all in history. There were even Slavs and Indian troops.
*(Uniform and Equipment) The details of the M40 wool uniforms on the German foreign troops in the movie are almost impeccable, from collar patches, epaulettes, armbands, various SS camouflage helmet covers, smocks and individual equipment, and even wool uniforms are generally equipped with metal The "belt support hook" and the correct color style of the trousers suspenders (this kind of detail is amazing), there are only a few points that I can barely say:
- Individual shovels: The shovels used by soldiers in the later period should be foldable. The straight shovel in the movie was used in the early and middle stages of the war 43 years ago.
- There's only one person in the movie wearing a full M44 spot camouflage, which seems odd, but not impossible.
* (MP44 弾bag) The MP44 弾bag that the soldiers in the movie is equipped with is definitely the best war movie I have seen so far, with the most accurate details, so good that it is doubtful whether it is using the "authentic".
*(M24 grenade rack) There is a scene in the film where a soldier is hurriedly dragging a box full of stick-type grenades in the trenches. The wire shelf is very rare and rare. This should also be the first war film. This is a very rare object so far (because the shelf is rusted and slightly deformed, it should be judged to be genuine)
*(M39 egg grenade) World War II movies are very rare Appears, but should be a common German weapon in wartime. The interesting thing is that before the detonation in the film, the fuze on the top of the grenade has not been opened, and it is in a complete state (it cannot be detonated).
*(Truck) There is an extremely rare early German army card Krupp (1.5 tons, 6 rounds) in the film. This may be the only military type that has appeared in this war film. Although it will be a little strange to match the time point emphasized in the film, it is still a pleasant surprise to see.
* (Vehicle painting) All German military vehicles on the Eastern Front after 1943 should be painted khaki at the request of the Ministry of Defense. It was 44 years in the film, and it was in the hot war zone of the Eastern Front, but no cars were painted that color, which was not in line with the regulations at the time.
*(MP38) appears many times in the film, more. This rare early-type submachine gun isn't very common in North America, so it's rarely seen in past war movies.
* (Sunder Armor) The Sunder Armor Fist used in the film is of a very high production level, and all details are completely reproduced, and it is definitely not an ordinary movie props that are woven and rotten.
*(37mm anti-tank gun) Is the firepower of this gun still useful in 1944? I don't know why it appears. But it makes sense to say that it is an auxiliary defensive weapon for infantry trenches.
*(75mm anti-tank gun) The painting is correct, the shooting picture is real, and the attack is beautiful. It is a pity that the number of positions placed in the position is too small, how can it block the tide of Soviet troops.
* (Leather boots) In the scene of the mass burial of the dead Russian and German troops, the soles of the Russian soldiers' boots turned out to be quite modern rubber boots. It is worth mentioning that the details of the German army boots in the film are completely correct. This is also a rare intention in World War II war films.
* (German-style resting action) The German-style resting action of the recruits in the Russian camp caused a conversation with the Russian protagonist. This detail is definitely a classic. I personally think it is a big highlight, and it is difficult for non-German army fans to feel this historically correct.
