sniper
What was interesting was they attempted to re create the sniper shot , where the German is shot through the scope
In the movie, it was 450 yards range , a quite improbable scenario .
They set up a modern sniper on a range , initially at 100 yards , perfect shot first time . The second attempt at 400 yards was less successful . on the third shot the bullet grazed the scope . They stated that, because of the laws of physics, over that distance, the bullett traces an arc and it would not enter the scope on a level angle, rather it would enter the scope from above , thus making that scene in the movie , impossible in real life
For us vehicle nuts , the German truck on the beach, was a 1950's Morris MRA1 4X4 . They obviously employed the wrong adviser on the movie set .
