The Keeper is a 2018 British-German movie directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller. The film tells the story of Bernhard Carl „Bert“ Trautmann, who is imprisoned in a British camp after being captured at the end of World War II. When the coach of the provincial club St Helens Town notices his talent, he signs him up for his club. After having his first successes as a goalkeeper and falling in love with his patron's daughter Margaret, he decides to stay in England. Sometime later, Bert, as the English now call him, attracts the attention of Man City's team manager Jock Thomson. At "City", however, the hated "Kraut" faces a gauntlet. Under immense pressure from hostile media and massive fan protests, Trautmann fights for a fair chance.
The following weapons were used in the film The Keeper:
Handguns
Enfield No. 2

III* was used at the front until the end of the war.
