Deserter (Dezertir) is a 1933 Soviet B&W film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin. A young Hamburg worker Karl Renn (Boris Livanov) is a member of the German Communist party, but he doesn't show courage in the direct struggle with strikebreakers and police and even deserts a picket-line. His elder comrade Ludwig Zelle chooses Karl as a member of the delegation to the Soviet Union. Karl works together with Soviet workers on a mechanical plant but when gets news that Zelle is killed by police, he returns to Germany and becomes an active member of the struggle.
The following weapons were used in the film Deserter (Dezertir):
Reichswehr soldiers, guarding the strikebreakers, carry full-length rifles with long bayonets. These rifles are seen only in distance and cannot be identified.
A T-27 tankette, armed with a Degtyaryov DT machine gun, is standing it for an armoured vehicle of German police, used against rioting dockers in Hamburg. This scene was reused in 1938 film Esli zavtra voyna.
