Massacre in Rome (original Italian title Rappresaglia) is a French-Italian 1973 war drama directed by George P. Cosmatos. The movie depicts the events of the Ardeatine massacre in Rome in March 24, 1944, when more than three hundred Italian civilians were executed by Nazi German occupation troops as a reprisal for a partisan attack against the SS Police Regiment "Bozen". The film stars Richard Burton as the head of Rome Gestapo Herbert Kappler and Marcello Mastroianni as Italian priest Father Pietro Antonelli.
The following weapons were used in the film Massacre in Rome:
One of the Mauser C96 pistols, used by SS soldiers and officers during the mass execution of Italian victims in Ardeatine Caves, is a custom pistol with a 20-round fixed magazine and "Red 9" grips (the Mauser C96 "Red 9" never existed with 20-round magazines). The magazine itself has traces of machining on the bottom part.
Standard Mauser C96 pistols are used by SS soldiers and officers during the mass execution of Italian victims in Ardeatine Caves. Most pistols lack the hole in safety lever knob, so they appear to be a "Wartime Commercial" model.
A Walther P38 is seen in hands of SS-Sturmbannführer Hellmuth Dobbrick (Dennis Burgess), the officer in charge of the attacked unit. Some other officers carry holsters for s P38, but they appear to be flat and empty.
Many German soldiers and some Italian partisans are armed with MP40 submachine guns. Some MP40s are fitted with brown Bakelite furniture that is typical for post-1943 manufactured guns (such weapons are often seen in 1970s Italian movies).
SRCM Mod. 35 hand grenades are used by Italian partisans. The combination of vivid red body and unpainted aluminum details match the S.R.C.M. version of the Modello 35 grenade series (OTO and Breda versions have black caps and levers).
