Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi and was based on the Christine Leunens novel "Caging Skies". Roman Griffin Davis stars in the film as Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a Hitler Youth member who discovers that his mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs, while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend, a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler (portrayed by Waititi). The film's cast includes Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, and Sam Rockwell. Jojo Rabbit would go on to be nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Johansson, with Waititi receiving the Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The following weapons were used in the film Jojo Rabbit:
Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell) is seen using a Walther P38 to impress the young boys at the HJ Summer camp. Later his assistant, Finkel (Alfie Allen), uses it in battle.
Fraulein Rahm (Rebel Wilson) holds a Luger P08 throughout the film. She is seen trying to offer the pistol to Jojo, then she is seen holding it in the conference room and during the battle, she tries to hand it to Yorki, Jojo's friend.
During the battle, a one-handed Volksturm fighter appears to be armed with a late 19th century Austrian Rast Gasser 1898, (or maybe a Belgian Rip-off).
During the battle sequences an extra and a little girl can be seeing holding a MP 3008, a limited production SMG copied from the Sten Gun to arm the volksturm with a cheap and effective automatic gun.
Several Volksturm units during the battle carry the Mauser Gewehr 1898, a WW1 era rifle reused in the last months of the war as a last ditch measure to arm militias.
The Mosin Nagant Rifle can be see clearly in the hands of several volksturm fighters (This is not a historical error, since at the end of ww2 the militias of the third reich were armed with anything at hand, included some of the millions of Mosin Nagant Rifles captured during Operation Barbarossa) and of some red army soldiers.
German forces use the MG42 throughout the battle. Yorki asks Jojo to help him bring an MG42 along with some ammo to the frontline. Fraulein Rahm (Rebel Wilson) also is seen taking up the MG42 while engaging the opposing forces. In this scene, the weapon likely is an airsoft replica, since it has a strange plastic block in the action. Also, it sounds like the MG42 used by Frau Rahm has a very low rate of fire (likely a choice made in post production).
The Browning M2HB machine gun is seen mounted on several US armored vehicles.
Later, a US jeep is parked on the side of a road for maintenance, with a Browning M2HB mounted on it.
A Panzerschreck is seen carried by Yorki and another child. When Yorki stops to greet Jojo, he drops the Panzerschreck, causing it to fire accidentally.
Later it's in the hands of a woman fighting in the Battle.
