Unidentified Handgun

Luger P08
A German sergeant (Reinhard Kolldehoff) is seen carrying a Luger P08. Other Germans use them, usually in holsters.
MG42
The Germans attempt to prevent the heroes from escaping in a pair of gliders using an MG42 mounted in a halftrack. However, the gunner (Michel Modo) is cross-eyed and misses and accidentally shoots down a German fighter plane instead.
