The Stolen Train (Bulgarian title Otkradnatiyat vlak, Russian title Ukradennyj poezd) is a 1971 Bulgarian war movie. The story takes place in September 1944 when Bulgaria declared war to Germany. A number of high-rank German military and diplomatic personnel try to leave Bulgaria for neutral Turkey via a railroad.


The following weapons were used in the film The Stolen Train (Otkradnatiyat vlak):

Machine Guns

Madsen

A Madsen machine gun is seen in Damyan's car. It is never used in action. The machine gun is seen only partially but can be identified due to the shape of the perforated barrel shroud and the flash hider.

Degtyaryov DP-27

A Degtyaryov DP-27 is seen in hands of a German guard in the train. It lacks its typical disk magazine and conical flash hider, supposedly to make it look different from the Soviet machine gun.
