Revision as of 19:08, 13 January 2012
Cross of Iron is a 1977 WWII film directed by Sam Peckinpah and stars James Coburn, Maximilian Schell, and James Mason. The film tells the story of a disgruntled yet highly decorated Sergeant and his reconnaissance platoon of the German Army that is fighting on the Kuban Bridgehead, Soviet Union. All is going as well as can be expected during a retreat until a zealous Captain turns up, so jealous of Steiner's awards that he sets about a vendetta to rid himself of Steiner and in the same time win the coveted Iron Cross.
The following weapons were used in the film Cross of Iron:
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
Steiner (James Coburn), as well as many of men he is commanding, loots a PPSh-41 in the attack on a mortar position early in the movie. Steiner then uses it throughout the film. Originally chambered for 7.62x25. The PPSh-41 was later adopted by the German army & renamed the MP717(r) and re-chambered for 9mm parabellum. It should be noted that the drum magazine could not be used with the 9mm conversion, so Steiner's has to be in the original caliber.

MP40
MP40's are carried by most of Steiner's platoon before the attack on the mortar position, though afterward only Privates Kern and Anselm continue to use it. It is also used by many of the German soldiers seen throughout the film including Colonel Brandt (James Mason) and Captain Stransky (Maximilian Schell). Stransky tries to use one in the finale but demonstrates his incompetence to Steiner when he cannot reload it.
