Corrected entry: When Schindler rescues a group of children from being taken away for gassing, he argues with one of the soldiers that the small hands of children are necessary to polish the inside of .45 cartridge cases. The WW2 Germans used neither this caliber nor the inch-based designation; they used millimeters (7.92mm Mauser, 9mm Parabellum etc) for labelling cartridge sizes.

Correction: He is not referring to handgun cartridges, but to artillery shells.
Correction: During the scene, Schindler says "45mm" shell casings (artillery size), not .45 caliber (non-metric handgun size).
