MAS AA-52

What appears to be an anachronistic MAS AA-52 is used by French colonial troops. It is probably standing in for a Hotchkiss Mle 1914.

Panzer II

The German armored unit is comprised of Panzer IIs. In fact, only one tank was used in the movie, the others were digitally added, that's why all the tanks have the same "304" number. Panzer II number 304 is currently on display at the Musée des Blindés (Museum of Armoured Vehicles) in Saumer, France.
