Question In the TV series, Schultz had a U.S. Krag, not a Norwegian one. I don't know why, but assume the prop people goofed.
Could it have been that John Banner, an anti-Nazi Austrian, did not want to carry a German rifle, even though the other "German soldiers" had the standard K98k rifle?
I would appreciate any info you can provide on a question that has been bugging me for some time. Thank you.
Jim
Answer Jim,
Great question!
I'm sorry but I have never read anything about the rifle that Schultz carried.
Unfortunately - John died in 1973.
I'll check with another source to see if she has read of the reason why.
