Special Operations Squad (Otryad spetsyalnogo naznacheniya)
Special Operations Squad (Otryad spetsyalnogo naznacheniya) is a Soviet 1987 five-part mini-series directed by Georgiy Kuznetsov and based on the memoirs "Eto bylo pod Rovno" (It Happened Near Rovno) by Dmitriy Nikolaevich Medvedev. The plot depicts the activities of Soviet special force Pobediteli (The Victorious) under the command of Medvedev that acted deep behind the enemy lines in the Nazi-occupied Ukraine in 1942-1944. One of the main characters is Nikolai Grachyov (Aleksandr Mikhaylov), on-screen representation of Nikolay Ivanovich Kuznetsov, Soviet intelligence officer and partisan who acted under disguise of a German officer and personally assassinated a number of high-ranking German officials.
This mini-series is a second screen representation of Nikolay Kuznetsov, following 1967 film Silnye dukhom, made by same Sverdlovsk Film Studio.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries Special Operations Squad (Otryad spetsyalnogo naznacheniya):
Partisan Nikolay Prikhodko (Vladimir Andreev) uses a TT-33 in his last battle. Some Soviet officers and partisans carry TT holsters but generally they seem empty.
Nikolay Grachyov (Aleksandr Mikhaylov) uses a Luger P08 during several operations under disguise of German Oberleutnant Paul Siebert (mostly he uses a Walther P38). Lugers are also used by German officers and NCOs, including SS Hauptsturmführer Martin von Gettel (Boris Klyuev) and SS Hauptsturmführer Peter Krause (Uldis Lieldidzs), and traitor Naumov (Oleg Korchikov).
Nikolay Grachyov (Aleksandr Mikhaylov) mostly uses a Walther P38 during his operations. The report of SS Hauptsturmführer Krause claims that the pistol, used in assassinations, was "a 7-shot, caliber 7.65mm" - meaning a Walther PPK. In one scene SS Hauptsturmführer Martin von Gettel (Boris Klyuev) puts a P38 in his pocket, but when Grachyov disarms him, the pistol swtiches to a P08 due to a continuity error.
Degtyaryov DP-27 light machine guns are used by partisans, notably by the Commissar of the special force Maj. Sergey Trofimovich Stekhov (Yuriy Kuznetsov).
During his final battle, Nikolay Grachyov (Aleksandr Mikhaylov) holds an URG-N, a training version of RGD-5 hand grenade. This post-war model doesn't fit for that time.
Stick hand grenades are seen in hands of Nikolay Prikhodko (Vladimir Andreev) and Kosulnikov (Nikolai Smirnov (II)). These grenades are larger than RGD-33 but longer and slender than RPG-40. Possibly these are inaccurate mockups of RGD-33.
