The Red Baron is a 2008 German film production by director Nikolai Müllerschön and is loosely based on the last Life Years of Manfred von Richthofen. The 24-year-old Baron Manfred von Richthofen (Matthias Schweighofer) is a gifted fighter pilot in World War. All Europe fears his red-painted Fokker. He and his comrades Voss (Til Schweiger), Sternberg (Maxim Mehmet) and Lehmann (Hanno Koffler) see air duels as bold sports. Only when Richthofen falls in love with the nurse Käte (Lena Headey), he discovered the horrors of war.
The following weapons were used in the film The Red Baron:

Luger P08
A Sturmpionier officer holds a Luger P08 before the German Spring Offensive in 1918.
Some German soldiers can be seen carrying VZ-98/22 Czech Mausers standing for accurate Gewehr 98s rifles. They are Identifiable due they have flat tangent sights instead of "Lange Visiers".
German soldiers also carry anachronistic Karabiner 98ks in the movie (although they may stand for authentic Mauser 98AZ Artillery Carbines). Some of them can be seen with fixed bayonets.
The historically accurate Mauser Gewehr 1898 is carried by German soldiers in the second half of the movie. Notably, before the Spring Offensive where they're equipped with SG 98/05 bayonets.
During the opening in 1906, young Richthofen (Tomás Koutník) is on the hunt with a Cape Gun, the combination double-barrel hunting shotgun/rifle, with one smoothbore and one .22 caliber rifled barrels.
