Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi and was based on the Christine Leunens novel "Caging Skies". Roman Griffin Davis stars in the film as Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a Hitler Youth member who discovers that his mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs, while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend, a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler (portrayed by Waititi). The film's cast includes Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, and Sam Rockwell. Jojo Rabbit would go on to be nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Johansson, with Waititi receiving the Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Gasser Revolver
During the Battle, a Volksturm fighter without an arm seems to be carrying a Gasser style (or maybe a Belgian Rip-off), late 19th century revolver.

Gewehr 1898
Several Volksturm units during the battle carry the Mauser Gewehr 1898, a WW1 era rifle reused in the last months of the war as a last ditch measure to arm militias.
The Mosin Nagant Rifle can be see clearly in the hands of several volksturm fighters (This is not a historical error, since at the end of ww2 the militias of the third reich were armed with anything at hand, included some of the millions of Mosin Nagant Rifles captured during Operation Barbarossa) and of some red army soldiers.
At the beginning of The Battle Jojo and Yorki met again. Yorki ask jojo to help him bring an MG42 along with some ammo to the frontline.
Later Fraulein Rahm embrace a MG42 going towards the enemy.
Probably this specific gun is an Airsoft replica, since it has a strange plastic block in the action. Also, when Frau Rahm shoots it, it clearly has a low rate of fire made in post production.
