The OP was asking about WWII and tracers, which is a valid question.
quote:
Wiki:
The United Kingdom was the first to develop and introduce a tracer round, a version of the .303 cartridge in 1915.[2] The United States introduced a .30-06 tracer in 1917.[3] Prior to adopting red and, later, other color bullet tips, for tracers, American tracers were identified by blackened cartridge cases.
Tracers proved useful as a countermeasure against Zeppelins used by Germany during World War I. The airships were used for surveillance and bombing operations. Normal bullets merely had the effect of causing a slow leak, but tracers could ignite the hydrogen gasbags, and bring down the airship quickly.
In World War II U.S. naval and marine aircrew were issued tracer rounds with their sidearms for emergency signaling use as well as defense.[4]

That was the only part of the movie I rolled my eyes at, and it was an SS guy no less. "SS guy with a heart" has to be a new one.
