A [[PPK]], 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 a rare Political version with the Political Reich eagle on the bakelite grips. The one used in the film, is actually a "blank fire only" post war copy (with the swastika omitted), since a real model is worth thousands; presumably it is standing in for a standard issue Walther PP or PPK that a field officer might be expected to have.

Everyman's War is a 2009 war film directed by Thad Smith. It stars Cole Carson as Don Smith, a young man drafted into the 94th Infantry Division during World War Two and sent into combat in France and Germany with a Heavy Machine Gun Section.
The following weapons were used in the film Everyman's War:
Despite being the standard-issue combat rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War Two, the M1 Garand is seen scarcely throughout the movie. This is historically accurate for weapons squads, such as the one depicted in the film, would normally be issued lighter weapons such as the M1 Carbine and side arms like the 1911A1. The most notable user is Pvt. Karl Heinrich (Brian Julian), the section ammunition carrier.
