I don't know if any one else has mentioned this but there was one thing that US units could have done but didn't. When they were approached by the Hanomag in the field and the airborne(?) bazooka squad took it out, why oh why didn't they grab the MG34's from it? (and the dead crew's weapons?) The whole thing about the last battle was their limited ammunition and firepower with which to defend the town. A couple of captured MG34's would have contributed quite a bit. The main characters were a ranger unit, correct? And the para's were pretty highly trained, so you can't say they wouldn't have the technical capability to operate German weaponry. What does everyone think?
