Dnieper Line: Love and War (original name Dnieprovski rubej - "Dnieper Line") is a 2009 Belarussian war movie directed by Denis Skvortsov. The story takes place in July 1941 during the Soviet defence of the town of Mogilev on the Dniepr river.
The following weapons are seen in the movie Dnieper Line: Love and War:
German soldiers use MG34 machine guns, both on bipods and tripods. In the scenes where MG34s are firing they are substituted with visually modified PK/PKM machine guns.
Replicas of BA-20 armored cars carry PK Machine Guns with the front sight removed as their main armament, rather than the correct (and probably unavailable) Degtyaryov DT.
Maxim M1910 machine guns are used by Soviet soldiers. They can be indetified by their smooth water-jackets that are typical for Maxims manufactured during the WW1 and in early 1920s.
In one scene a German soldier carries a Fusil mitrailleur modele 1924 M29. These French light machine guns, better known as FM 24/29, were really used by Germans as leMG 116(f). Due to absence of original French 7.5mm cartridges, the movie-used machine gun is converted to use 7.62x39 cartridges; an AKM magazine is seen (due to its curved shape this FM 24/29 resembles Bren).
A Gewehrgranatengerät (known also as Schiessbecher - "shooting cup") rifle grenade launcher is seen in one scene. This weapon is mounted on the muzzle of Karabiner 98k and fires 30mm grenades.
In one scene a German soldier is seen with a short tube that he readies and throws in the direction of Soviet positions. It is supposed to be a signal flare used to show the target to artillery and aviation.
A replica of PzKpfw III was made specially for the filming of this movie. It is based on BMP-1 chassis. Later the same tank appeared in The Brest Fortress (Brestskaya Krepost).
Two Tatra OT-810, post-war Czechoslovak copy of German Sd.Kfz. 251 halftrack APC, were used during the filming of the movie. They are armed with MG34 machine guns which switch to visually modified PK in the scenes of firing.
Two replicas of BA-20 armored car were made specially for the filming of this movie. Later they were used in filming of The Brest Fortress (Brestskaya Krepost). The replicas use genuine bodies of BA-20 and chassis and engines of GAZ-67. Instead of original Degtyaryov DT they carry PK Machine Guns with the front sight removed.
Soviet mortars appear in one scene. They are seen only partially, and it's hard to identify the model, but due to the size of the muzzle they are most likely 120-mm.
