Trois Jours en Juin is a 2004 French World War II movie directed by Philippe Venault. In 1940, during the very last days of the Battle of France, a handful of French soldiers choose to resist the German invaders on the river Loire.
The following weapons were used in the film Trois Jours en Juin:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols and Revolvers
Mle 1892
French soldiers and sergeant Henri Dragance (Patrick Catalifo) carry an Mle 1892 as a secondary weapon. They fire the revolvers at villagers.
Ruby
Numerous French officers, including Colonel Valadon (Guy Marchand), Captain Rollet (Marc Berman) and Lieutenant Samboura (Dioucounda Koma), are equipped with Ruby pistols.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Haudrusse (Étienne Chicot) is seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 10 when villagers attack the French troops.
Walther PP
Oberst Kopler (Jean-François Pages), executes Colonel Valadon with a Walther PP when the French colonel asks to be killed like his fellow soldiers, who were crushed by a Panzer II after their surrender.
Rifles and Carbines
Fusil Modèle 1916 Carabine
The majority of the metropolitan French soldiers are armed with the Berthier Mle 1916 Carbine.
Fusil Modèle 1907-16 Rifle
Most French colonial soldiers are armed with the Berthier Mle 1907-16.
Fusil Modèle 1907-15 Rifle
Some French colonial troops are armed with the Berthier Mle 1907-15.
Lebel 1886
At least one colonial soldier carries a Lebel 1886.
Karabiner 98K
German troops use the Karabiner 98k as their main weapon.
Shotguns
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
French villagers use 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns against French troops. The Mayor kills Haudrusse with a shotgun, because Haudrusse pushed villagers to attack the French soldiers.
Machine Guns and Automatic Rifles
Chatellerault M1924/29
An FM 24/29 is seen in the defensive position at the bridge. The soldier who uses it successfully shoots down a Stuka.
MAS AA-52
What appears to be an anachronistic MAS AA-52 is used by French colonial troops. It is probably standing in for a Hotchkiss Mle 1914.
Trivia
Canon Antichar de 25mm
The French troops protecting the bridge use an effective 25mm anti-tank cannon that Dragance finds left behind by his retreating comrades.
Panzer II
The German armored unit is comprised of Panzer IIs. In fact, only one tank was used in the movie, the others were digitally added, that's why all the tanks have the same "304" number. Panzer II number 304 is currently on display at the Musée des Blindés (Museum of Armoured Vehicles) in Saumer, France.
