Hi,

Noticed two movies with interesting Luger scenes:

'Soldier of Orange' (Soldaat van Oranje). 1977, Dutch movie, based on the memoires of Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, a Dutchman who managed to escape from occupied territory, made it to the UK and fought back, eventually becoming the queen's adjutant.

Two interesting scenes. The first shows a German officer pulling his Luger while rounding up a group of people at a tennis court. The second scene shows an officer being bullied by a group of Dutch sailors, who try to board a Swiss vessel, totally drunk (or at least pretending to be). The officer threatens to use his pistol, shoots in the air several times.

P38 in another scene. Dutch actor Rijk de Gooyer plays a nasty Dutch police officer who works for the Germans, as part of a plan to take out a resistance cell he fakes his death with some tomato ketchup.

(Rijk de Gooyer swam across the river Waal, the border between occupied and liberated Netherlands at the end of WW2. He joined the liberation army and was part of the units that liberated several concentration camps and arrested several Nazi officials, amongs them Himmler.)

The second movie is a ZAZ (Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker) film, 'Top Secret!', from 1984. An 'East German' border guard pulls out his luger.
