Were Canadians in Europe even using the No.1 Mk.3* rifle by late 1944?
Despite the stretch in credibility, I mostly enjoyed the story line and filming, but the overall could have easily been improved by the director taking note of some sound technical advice.

Beyond the numerous technical errors in this movie, the screenplay was complete nonsense. For example, a resistance member overtly taking photographs of German troop movements while standing by the side of the road and a Glider Pilot who has been on the run from the Germans and is then somehow absorbed into the Canadian Army; other than the 'interesting kit', there is nothing to recommend to anyone about this motion picture.
