My Way (Korean title:마이 웨이]] is a 2011 South Korean war film directed by Kang Je-gyu. Two Rival marathoners, Korean rickshaw driver Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Japanese-born Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri), are put into front-line service with the Imperial Japanese Army, Jun-Shik a draftee and Tatsuo a fiercely Nationalist colonel. Captured by the Red Army during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, they endure a harsh journey that takes them from a forced-labor camp in Russia to battle against the Wehrmacht and ultimately defending Omaha Beach from the Americans on D-Day.
Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) and several other Japanese officers use the Nambu Type 14. Note that the large trigger guard makes this a "late" Nambu, which would be inaccurate for the Battle of Khalkhin Gol.
The Tokarev TT-33 is used by Red Army prison guards and Commissar's. Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) uses a presumably captured TT-33 to execute retreating Japanese soldiers at Khalkhin Gol.
Both Red Army and Wehrmacht officers use the PPSh-41 (not inaccurate, many Germans fighting on the Ostfront used the PPSh-41). However, the weapon does make an appearance amongst the Labor camp guards in scenes set pre-1941, which would make it anachronistic.
The main weapon of the Wehrmacht soldiers is the Karabiner 98k. Oddly enough, several US soldiers also use the 98k - possibly because of an inadequate number of US rifles.
