After the disaster happened and the victims are being brought to the hospitals, an approaching plane is visible and the character Walter Köhler tells his son that this is a plane of the German military, coming to help.
But the plane in the movie is an Airbus A320 which can be recognized by the typical wingtips. The A320, which was the first of the narrow body Airbus aircraft family, wasn't existing at the time of the accident in 1978.
Rollout of the first A320 Prototype happened February 14th, 1987. First A320 was delivered to an airline in 1988. Other versions of the "A320 family" are A318, A319 and A321 which vary e.g. in the size of fuselage.
Also the German military had no plane of the A320 family until they got the A319 in 2010, the A321 in 2018.

In a scene in front of the local hospital, we see, among other cars, an Opel Kadett D. That car was introduced in 1979, and could not have been there in 1978.
