True, ex Army mate of mine was a extra he played a Turk & German. They were mostly Armored Corp from Puckapunyal. he said he heaps of fun firing the machine guns! Great series thanks for uploading.
These scenes were filmed near Ballarat I believe. The extras playing the Germans were mostly serving Australian army soldiers because the producers wanted extras who looked like they knew what they were doing and were familiar with handling weapons.
It doesn't always, sadly. Just look at John Wayne's silly "The Green Berets". Almost every VC and extra soldier was played by an active duty GI. Couldn't save that awful POS from becoming a bad comedy.

Where did 'Bill' get his CSM badge in the middle of digging in? Yeah, I know, I'm just "noodging". 8-)

'There's a place like this between Ballarat & Daylesford'.... That must be an in-joke, that area where some of this series was filmed.
