The Eagle Has Landed
The Eagle Has Landed follows the German High Command's elaborate plan to capture Winston Churchill and bring him to Germany using what remained of a detachment of elite Paratroopers. This film is based on the Jack Higgins Novel of the same name.
The following firearms were used in the film The Eagle Has Landed:
Handguns
Colt Commander
Colonel Pitts carries a Colt Commander as his sidearm. He is seen with the pistol when he searching Joanna's house. A Colt Commander is also seen briefly being used by a Ranger during the church battle. This was probably a stand-in for the regular Colt 45, the Colt Commander itself wasn't launched until after World War II. Or this could be a prototype, hmmm?
Walther P38
Carried by Steiner and his second in command Von Neustadt (Sven-Bertil Taube) sidearm is a Walther P38 pistol.
Luger P08
Sergeant Major Brandt is seen with a Luger P08 pistol during the train station scene.

Rifles & Carbines
