Emden Men (Die Männer der Emden) or also titled as Odyssey of Heroes is a 2012 German movie directed by Berengar Pfahl. During the First World War, the German navy light cruiser S.M.S. Emden is sunk by the Australian HMAS Sydney in the Indian Ocean. The 50-man crew can save themselves and now have to go on a long and exhausting journey: 13,000 kilometers through water and desert lie ahead of them. The troupe is led by Lieutenant Hellmuth von Mücke (Sebastian Blomberg). It's a homage to the 1932 German movie Cruiser Emden.
The following weapons were used in the film Emden Men:
Handguns
Luger P08
All senior officers of the Emden including Karl Overbeck (Ken Duken), Hellmuth von Mücke (Sebastian Blomberg) and Friedrich von Schulau (Jan Henrik Stahlberg) use Luger P08s as their sidearms.
Luger Marine Model
Maat (Petty Officer) Kluthe (Oliver Korittke) is armed with a longer barreled Marine Luger P08.
Unknown Pocket Pistol
Antonia (Sheri Hagen) tries to reach an unknown pocket pistol. Karl Overbeck (Ken Duken) stops her and takes the pistol. It resembles the Baby Browning, but has some small differences. Possibly it being one of the many European clones of this gun.
