==Makarov PM==
A [[Makarov PM]], thrown into a river by a surrendering German Officer, is used by a German Prisoner of War ([[Micah Klatt]]) to commit suicide. The weapon is anachronistic, since the Makarov PM was not issued until 1951; presumably it is standing in for the Walther PP or PPK that the officer might be expected to have.
