|
A Call to Spy details the exploits of real-life spies hired by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and sent into France during World War II, written, produced, and starring Sarah Megan Thomas as American-born agent Virginia Hall. In addition to Virginia Hall, real-life SOE agents and administrators are depicted, including Vera Atkins (Stana Katic), Maurice Buckmaster (Linus Roache), and Noor Inayat Khan ([[Radhika Apte]]).
The following weapons were used in the film A Call to Spy:
Handguns
Luger P08
Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas) uses a Luger P08 when demonstrating how the French resistance can incorporate firearms into their work, instructing that "when you use a gun, double tap: torso, head." Lugers are also prominently used by German Army soldiers and Vichy officers. thumb|none|600px|A Vichy officer holds his Luger while looking over a French citizen's papers. thumb|none|600px|The Vichy officer keeps his Luger ready while checking Virginia's papers. thumb|none|600px|Virginia demonstrates how to fire a Luger for the gathered resistance members. thumb|none|600px|"Torso, head."
