Added DiffLines:

* ImproperlyPlacedFirearms: The American Rangers are armed almost exclusively with postwar M2 carbines[[labelnote:*]]Or at least M1 carbines with anachronistic 30 round magazines, though a number are seen firing on full automatic, making those definitively [=M2s=].[[/labelnote]] and also use the larger M20 Super Bazooka in place of period correct M1 or M9 Bazookas. Averted with the Germans, who are seen with either appropriate German weapons or captured Sten guns.


Added DiffLines:

* SelectiveHistoricalArmoury: On the American side. Not a single Ranger has an M1 Garand - by far the most common US infantry weapon - or Thompson submachine gun, instead being armed with anachronistic carbines. Justified on the German side, as they are armed with captured weapons, though the movie version omits the Bren gun one of the paratroopers carried in the novel.
