WWII Movie with Luger, P.38 and a PPK
 

Seen any like that? I remember one! Which one?:confused:

The Great Escape has examples of all 3, It also includes a Mauser pistol as well.

Luger in a movie
 

I watched a movie yesterday.
Guess what movie....?

I'd say that looks like the projector room scene from "Inglorious Basterds". Great flick, the casting was so spot on.. :rockon:

That's
 

CORRECT ! :thumbup:

Mine was Where Eagles Dare set high in the Bavarian Alps at the Schloss Adler (Actual name of the Castle is Schloss Hohenwerfen) at the Austrian Town of Werfen.

Prosit!!!

I have visited this castle twice. Werfen lies about 90km south of Saltzberg, Austria. The castle is now a tourists' attraction and the courtyard where the helicopter lands in the movie is now a beer garden. The "cablecar room" is actually a souvernir shop!
Interestingly, the castle's true history is one of raptor bird breeding and falconry, which is still practiced for tourists, so it is indeed a "Schloss Adler".

Contrary to what the movie depicts, the castle is accessible on foot via an inclined but manageable road. The only cablecar to the castle is a small cable lift, used to send beer kegs up the slope to the beer garden!!

There is a small bridge on a road not too far from the castle where Hitler's Commando, Otto Skorzeni, surrendered himself and his troops to the allies in 1945.

Was there ever one shown on "Hogans' Heros'?

Try "Schindler's List".

O.K. you movie buffs, name one that featured an Artillery Luger. Norm

Not the one I'm thinking of. This movie is much more recent and the Artillery is used as a club. Norm

This movie is all about artillery. Norm

Heroes of the Telemark with Kirk Douglas, I think there is a scene where they are shooting at a floating mine from a boat with an Artillery Luger. There is a 4" Luger and P.38s in that one too!

Some recent ones:
-King Kong, of course!
-League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (with jamming gold plated LP08)

German movie "Stalingrad". German shot German was unusual in movie.

Soviet movie "Come and See" (1985) depicts the experiences of a 15-year-old boy joining the resistance in Nazi-occupied Belarus in 1943.

Had to include of a marriage between James Bond and His Walther PPK!

The "Artillery Movie" is, of course, "The Guns of Navarone". The character played by Anthony Quayle has his wounded leg clubbed with an Artillery Luger by an SS officer, in an effort to extract vital information. Norm

P38 is super popular in Yugoslavian WWII movies. In fact, I have never seen Lugers in Yugo movies. Every role, Partisan, Gastapo, Crotian, etc, plays P38.

Why didn't Yugoslavian see Lugers.....

Hi Alvin, On page 80 of "Third Reich Lugers" there is a photo of Tito accompanied by a soldier carrying a Luger "likely captured from the Germans". Regards

The kid lived in the wrong place, it's mission impossible for him to get a Luger or a P38, but he got a Luger-like pistol :) Chinese WWII movie, name unknown. Holding in hand, this thing also points well.

Way cool topic!

MY "UNCLE'S" NAME IS LUGER!! Pun Intended! :rockon:
Well, I got him with two out of three of them a P.38 and a Luger. :burnout:

You may do not believe but this week I watched an episode of "The Simpsons" (a parody to "Da Vinci's Code") and Mr. Montgomery Burns pulls a Luger and the end! :p

As to Alvin's comment on the lack of Lugers in movie's. I'm willing to bet that you never will see a luger fired more than once continually, unless they cut to a Luger firing real ammo. Luger's are near impossible to make work with blanks, while P38s are easy. Most Lugers seen on film are for show, not actual firing. So if Yugoslav movies call for much firing, Lugers are out.

Hi Alan, There are at least two movies I can think of where a Luger fires a complete magazine. They are "The Producers" and "The Blues Brothers". Regards, Norm

Romanian WWII movies are also interesting. Historically, Romania mostly stood on German's side, Antonescu promised Hitler that "Romania would stand by Germany thick and thin" at late as 1944. Since Antonescu dictatorship was overthrown and this became a politically incorrect stance, postwar Romanian WWII movies were very distorted. If by watching those movies only, Romania fighted German fiercely most of time!! Or, Antonescu's police fighting with Iron Guard, i.e., facist fighting facist...., not unlike Hitler flushed out SA in 1934.

Of course, numerous German weapons in Romanian movies.

Hello, I'm from exYugoslavia and my Luger was taken from a captured german soldier somewhere near Bosnia in 1943.
I think I found a movie where Luger is present. This is the movie "The battle of Neretva" (Bitka na Neretvi, 1969) where Yul Brynner (partisan) has a Luger in his hand. Unfortunetly, the photo is not very clear.
My opinion on main reason why Lugers are rarely present in YU movies is that most of partisan movies were made in times when there was not so much movie equipment as it is today. And in YU you could more easily find Walthers than Lugers.
I watched a documentary film about making movies soon after 1945. The real guns and real bullets were used, so it was quite dangerous for the actors. For example, there was a scene where some german soldiers were shown. In the next moment the camera has turned towards the partisans who started to shut towards the Germans. But just few seconds before that the german soldiers had to quickly run away from there (or they would be dead for real).
Well, I would not like to be an actor in that movies...

I wish we made the current Hollywood crop act under those conditions...........

I'd be happy to wrangle weapons for the production.........

For your viewing pleasure... :cool:

The Guns of Navarone......
