Notes: In the TV series Combat! in most of the non-archival footage, the "Messerschmitt" (Me-109, standard Luftwaffe fighter until the middle of the war) is really an American P-51C Mustang or a P-51D (has a "bubble" canopy) Mustang. All tanks used, German and American, were contemporary American tanks provided by the US Army. Every German or American armored car used in the series is the standard American World War II-era armored car.
