{{DEFAULTSORT:Shield and the Sword (Shchit i mech), The}}
The Shield and the Sword (Russian title Shchit i mech, German title Schild und Schwert, Polish title Tareza i miecz) is a Soviet-East German-Polish 1968 B&W four-part spy movie directed by Vladimir Basov and based on the novel by Vadim Kozhevnikov. In 1940 the Soviet intelligence officer Aleksandr Belov (Stanislav Lyubshin), posing as a Latvian Volksdeutsche Johann Weiss, moves to German Reich and makes a career in Abwehr and later in Sicherheitsdienst (SD). During the war he provides valuable information and also helps the anti-Nazi resistance.
Note: this movie is sometimes erroneously credited as TV mini series, but it was theatrically released in two parts, each containg two episodes ("No Right To Be Themselves" ("Bez prava byt soboy") and "Order: Survive" ("Prikazano vyzhit") in Part 1, "Without Appeal" ("Obzhalovaniyu ne podlezhit") and "The Last Frontier" ("Posledniy rubezh") in Part 2).
The following weapons were used in the film The Shield and the Sword (Shchit i mech):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in several scenes, used by a Polish female fighter and by a German agent, posing as a Red Army commander (both in Ep.2). The revolver of fake Red Army commander is briefly used by Johann Weiss (Stanislav Lyubshin).
Throughout the movie Johann Weiss' (Stanislav Lyubshin) sidearm is an FN Model 1910. Some German officers are also seen with FN 1910s. This is a correct weapon as former Belgian, Dutch and Danish FN 1910s were issued to Wehrmacht and law enforcement agencies of Nazi Germany.
In Ep.2 Soviet pilot Lt. Aleksey Zubov (Georgiy Martynyuk), posing as a German Alois Hagen, uses a pocket pistol to kill a German pilot (Uldis Dumpis). The pistol seems to lack any kind of extractor, and the slide seems to be a whole with the frame, so the gun is most likely not a genuine pistol but some kind of lighter pistol, or maybe a starter pistol.
MP40 submachine guns are widely used by German soldiers. Members of international resistance group also use MP40s.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Some German agents, disguised as Soviet soldiers, carry PPSh-41 SMGs in Ep.2. In Ep.4 Soviet soldiers of Maj. Dzhalalov's (a cameo of film director (not of this movie) Gavriil Yegiazarov) unit, including Dzhalalov himself, are mostly armed with PPSh-41s.
German soldiers carry Karabiner 98k rifles in several scenes. In one scene in Ep.1 the patrolmen of People's Militia in Riga (Latvia) are armed with 98k rifles.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
In Ep.2 a German agent, disguised as a Soviet soldier, carries a Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle. In Ep.4 M91/30 rifles are seen in hands of Soviet soldiers of Maj. Dzhalalov's unit.
