Follow Me, Scoundrels! is a 1964 East German swashbuckler film directed by Ralf Kirsten. Prussia 1730: The king sends his men in search of new recruits. The "Hanoverian peasant canaille" Alexander (Manfred Krug) meets all the requirements. The rascal begs the recruiting officer until he is accepted into his "royal" family and presented with ducats. The enchanting little daughter is also to become his property.
It was DEFA's first and extremely successful swashbuckler film in 1964. Together with director Ralf Kirsten and screenwriters Joachim Kupsch and Ulrich Plenzdorf, the then newly crowned audience favorite Manfred Krug took on the idea of inventing an adventure film like Fanfan la Tulipe.
The following weapons were used in the film Follow Me, Scoundrels!:
Pistols
Chatellerault Gendarmerie
Alexander (Manfred Krug) takes two Chatellerault Gendarmerie pistols from the Lübbenau's arsenal. The use of percussion weapons in 1730 is an anachronism.
Chatellerault Mle. 1822T
The Chatellerault Cavalry Model 1822 is the most used sidearm throughout the movie. It is used by Leutnant Lübbenau (Fred Düren) and the second coachman (Joachim Bober).
Flintlock Pistol
The first coachman (Willi Neuenhahn) is seen with a Flintlock Pistol which switches to a Chatellerault pistol in the next scene. This pistol has similarities with a Russian Cavalry Pistol M1809.
Rifles
Enfield Pattern 1853
What appears to be Enfield Pattern 1853 musketoons are used by Prussian soldiers.
Long Guns
Saxon soldiers are seen with unknown long guns which are not seen in detail.
Other
Wall of Guns
Fuse Grenade
During the chase at the movie's end, Alexander throws several fuse bombs at his pursuers.
