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):
Revolvers
Nagant M1895
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).
Pistols
FN Model 1910
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.
Walther P38
Various German officers use Walther P38 pistols throughout the movie.
Luger P08
Luger P08 pistols are seen in hands of German officers and soldiers and of resistance fighters.
Pocket Pistol
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.
Submachine Guns
MP40
MP40 submachine guns are widely used by German soldiers. Members of international resistance group also use MP40s. Note: see additional images on talk page.
PPSh-41
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.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
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.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
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.
Assault Rifles
Sturmgewehr 44
In the final scene in Ep.4 some German and Soviet soldiers are armed with Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles.
AKM
In the same scene AKMs are used as a substitution for Sturmgewehrs.
Machine Guns
MG34
MG34 machine guns are seen in several scenes, notably in Ep.4 when Zubov-Hagen (Georgiy Martynyuk) uses an MG34 against high rank Nazis in the plane.
MG34 Panzerlauf (mockup)
Mockups of MG34 Panzeflauf machine guns are mounted on fake German tanks.
37mm 61-K
37mm 61-K automatic anti-aircraft guns stand for German AA artillery during the attack of Soviet planes on German airfield in Ep.4.
Other Weapons
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
In the final scene in Ep.4 Johann Weiss (Stanislav Lyubshin) and the fighters of resistance group use several Model 24 Stielhandgranates.
Panzerfaust
Panzerfaust anti-tank launchers are seen in hands of German soldiers in Ep.3. The exact model is unclear, possibly these weapons are mockups.
85mm Air Defense Gun M1939 (52-K)
Several AA guns are seen on German airfield in Ep.4. They are most likely Soviet 85mm 52-K.

120 mm Mortar M1938
In Ep.4 Soviet troops use a 120mm regimental mortar M1938.
Trivia
Holsters
Tanks and Armoured Vehicles
