A typo and a "bug"

1. Description for new MP34 reads "Maschninepistole 34". It should be "Maschinenpistole 34". The MP 40 has the correct spelling in its description. Just copy and paste to correct.

2. Sten gun first person-model: Really? The left hand on the magazine well? After looking around a bit on historical and/or machine-gun sites to confirm my suspicions on this one, I can almost definitively say that this is not how the Sten would be held by a trained operator.

But don't take it from me, take it from Winston Churchill himself:

...or from other historical photos:

..or from modern day firearms experts..

they were held correctly in the last beta, but the inf's hand made it look weird.

they were "cupped" instead of gripped, and the inf's hand was huge.

Yeah, the hand position is something our artists fought with for a while, actually.

The problem is the current infantry model has these great big gorilla hands, so it ends up holding just about any weapon like a dainty little teacup. With the Sten this ended up being a huge problem, so in the end we had to go with the "Holding the magazine" pose since it was the least absurd-looking option we have, at least until we get around to overhauling the actual infantry models.

I just fixed the other thing though, so that's something at least. :D

A lot of Towns and depots are misspelled as well.

LOL.. been trying that one for years, pulfer.

like:

"Koln" should either be "Köln" or (if they don't have the Umlauts) at least "Koeln"

Same with "Dusseldorf" which should be "Düsseldorf" or "Duesseldorf".

Or speaking of Köln:

The main RR-station is on the wrong side of the river, the "Zoobrücke/Zoo Bridge" didn't exist until the 1960s (the RL bridge near the RR-station was and is the "Hohenzollernbrücke" and the world famous cathedral (which should be right next to the RR-station) is nowhere to be found. Not expecting them to model the RL cathedral mind you, but a generic one in the correct spot would be nice to have. As it is, I think we have a tiny chapel *roughly* where the cathedral should be... :)
