   Watching this now for the third time.  I believe I see some carbines with type B rear sights and type B front bands.  The films in this series was all shot in 1945 as U.S. troops entered Germany to the end.  

TUBI TV website watch-''Embedded45':Shooting War In Germany'' two one hour films shot by U.S. Army cameramen.

	It is a rough view, and it's a wonder the Ludendorf bridge lasted as long as it did. Long enough to establish a solid bridgehead (while the pontoon bridge was being built) on the east side and roll on farther into Germany. Too bad they couldn't save it.
