== MG 34 ==
When the German soldiers attack the French legionnaires, they use MG 34 machine guns.
== Madsen Model 1946 ==
Madsen Model 1946 machine guns are seen mounted on the trucks in the opening scene. They are mocked up to resemble belt fed Browning M1919 machine guns by fitting a cosmetic box over the bottom and rear of the receiver, but they can be identified as Madsens by the shape of the top of the receiver and the top loading magazine well visible on the left side of the top of the weapon. In order to make the gun appear to be belt fed the last round on the ammunition belt has simply been hooked into the magazine well, which on the Madsen is coincidentally a shape which easily allows this.

German soldiers use 8 cm Granatwerfer 34s during the ambush scene.
== Leuchtpistole ==
A Leuchtpistole flare pistol is used by Germans.
