The Axe. 1943 (Topor. 1943) is a 2021 Russian two-part made for TV war film directed by Vladimir Semenovykh. It is a sequel to The Axe (Topor) (2018). In Summer 1943 a Soviet scout group where Ivan Ilyich Rodin (Andrey Smolyakov) serves performs a mission behind enemy lines and discover a German tank division that the Soviet headquarters is unaware about. But the scouts are ambushed, and the injured commander orders Rodin to return and bring the news. But after the return Rodin is suspected in disinformation as the same division is discovered by another scout group in a very different place. Rodin has not only to prove his truth but also to avenge his comrades-in-arms.
The following weapons were used in the film The Axe. 1943 (Topor. 1943):
Handguns
Nagant M1895
Nagant M1895 revolvers are used by the division commander Col. Alyoshin (Dmitriy Shevchenko) and the commander of the scout group Capt. Odintsov (Aleksandr Golubev).
Luger P08
Ivan's younger brother Nikolay Rodin (Nikolay Kozak), a Major of the German Brandenburg special forces unit, carries a Luger P08 pistol.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
Many Soviet soldiers and officers, including Ivan Rodin (Andrey Smolyakov) and Capt. Belov (Ivan Shibanov), are armed with PPSh-41 submachine guns. Both drum and stick magazines are seen.
PPS-43
Capt. Odintsov (Aleksandr Golubev) and Starshina Somov (Dmitriy Pustilnik) are armed with PPS-43 submachine guns.
MP38
Capt. Odintsov (Aleksandr Golubev) is armed with an MP38 when he is disguised as a Feldgendarm. An MP38 is briefly seen in hands of a German soldier.
MP40
A number of German soldiers carry MP40 submachine guns. Some of them turn out to be Denix non-firing replicas.
Rifles and Assault Rifles
SVT-40
One of Odintsov's scouts and a German soldier are seen with SVT-40 rifles.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Several Soviet soldiers in trench are armed with Mosin Nagant Rifles, most likely M91/30.
Karabiner 98k
Many German soldiers are armed with Karabiner 98k rifles.
Karabiner 98k Sniper Rifle
Major of the Brandenburg special forces Nikolay Rodin (Nikolay Kozak) uses a Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39 sniper scope during the ambush on the Soviet scouts.
Sturmgewehr 44
In one scene a German soldier holds an anachronistic Sturmgewehr 44 with an even more anachronistic Zielgerät 1229 Vampir infrared night vision device (it was first used in combat only in February 1945). The device is an inexact replica only marginally resembling the real Vampir.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-27
A DP-27 machine gun is seen in the Soviet trenches.
MG42
MG42 machine guns are mounted on Feldgendarmerie motorcycles. Kasymov (Igor Radnaev) uses a captured MG42, covering with fire the retreat of the other scouts. Very likely a single prop is reused in all these scenes.
Other Weapons
SPSh Flare Pistol
A Soviet officer fires an SPSh flare pistol, signalling to attack.
RGD-33
Ivan Rodin (Andrey Smolyakov) throws an RGD-33 hand grenade during the battle with the Brandenburgers.
F-1
Deadly wounded Kasymov (Igor Radnaev) holds an F-1 hand grenade.
Trivia
German Pz V Panther tanks are mockups build on T-34 chassis.
