''Miracle at St. Anna'' is a 2008 movie by well-known director Spike Lee. In 1944, four black US soldiers from the segregated 92nd Infantry Division are cut off from their company during a failed attack on a German position in the Italian Campaign. The soldiers take refuge in a small Tuscan village, bringing along with them a traumatized young boy who, unknown to them, is the sole survivor of the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre, where hundreds of Italian civilians were killed by Waffen-SS panzergrenadiers as retribution for partisan attacks.

'''''Miracle at St. Anna''''' is a 2008 World War II film directed by [[Spike Lee]]. In 1944, four black US soldiers from the segregated 92nd Infantry Division are cut off from their company during a failed attack on a German position in the Italian Campaign. The soldiers take refuge in a small Tuscan village, bringing along with them a traumatized young boy who, unknown to them, is the sole survivor of the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre, where hundreds of Italian civilians were killed by Waffen-SS panzergrenadiers as retribution for partisan attacks.  The film was adapted from the novel of the same name written by James McBride, who also wrote the film's screenplay.

A [[Browning .303|Browning .303 Mk II*]] is used by the 92nd Division in the opening battle.

Miracle at St. Anna is a 2008 World War II film directed by Spike Lee. In 1944, four black US soldiers from the segregated 92nd Infantry Division are cut off from their company during a failed attack on a German position in the Italian Campaign. The soldiers take refuge in a small Tuscan village, bringing along with them a traumatized young boy who, unknown to them, is the sole survivor of the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre, where hundreds of Italian civilians were killed by Waffen-SS panzergrenadiers as retribution for partisan attacks. The film was adapted from the novel of the same name written by James McBride, who also wrote the film's screenplay.


The following weapons were used in the film Miracle at St. Anna:

Rifles

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is the main weapon of the 92nd Infantry Division in the movie, although Private First Class Samuel Train (Omar Benson Miller) is the only of the four main characters to use it.

Machine Guns

Browning .303 Mk II*

A Browning .303 Mk II* is used by the 92nd Division in the opening battle. The choice of weapon is unusual; the Mk II was made exclusively for use by the Royal Air Force, and was chambered in .303 British, not a readily available caliber for the US Army. The Browning M1919A4 would be more accurate.

Browning M2HB

A Browning M2HB can be briefly glimpsed mounted on a US Army tank at an artillery firebase.

Vickers Mk1

The Vickers Mk1 is mounted on a US Army jeep, manned by Private First Class Samuel Train. Once again, the Browning M1919A4 would be more accurate.
