The Lost Battalion 2001

The fact-based story of a battalion of the 77th American Division trapped in the Argonne Forest during WWI. Late in the action a prisoner is returned under a flag of truce; the soldier escort is carrying a P-08, seen in a long shot and gratuitous closeup.

Programs like this generally pride themselves in their attemts to maintain detail accuracy, but in this case they overreached themselves. It is easy to see that in this WWI drama the magazine in the gun is aluminum-based from the '30s, as well as the blued small parts from the same era, and has VoPo bullseye grips from the '50s.
