Die Abenteuer des Werner Holt (1965).

The Adventures of Werner Holt (Die Abenteuer des Werner Holt) is a 1965 East German war movie directed by Joachim Kunert and based on the eponymous novel by Dieter Noll. The story takes place in 1944-45 in Germany and on the Eastern front. The disasters of war are seen through the eyes of a young German lad Werner Holt (Klaus-Peter Thiele) who served on the anti-aircraft battery, then in the anti-partisan detachment and at last in the frontline.

The following weapons are seen in the movie The Adventures of Werner Holt (Die Abenteuer des Werner Holt):


Pistols

Luger P08
