The Eagle Has Landed is a 1976 WWII thriller based on the Jack Higgins novel of the same name and stars Michael Caine as a German officer who is part of 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.
The following firearms were used in the film The Eagle Has Landed:
Colonel Pitts (Larry Hagman) 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 introduced on the market until after World War II.
Oberst Kurt Steiner (Michael Caine) and his men from the 12th Fallschirmjaeger Abteilung all carry Sten Mk II submachine guns on the mission when they are disguised as Polish Paratroopers.
M3 "Grease Gun"
A Ranger is seen using a M3 "Grease Gun" during the assault on the church.
Rifles & Carbines
M2 Carbine
Colonel Pitts (Larry Hagman) and most of his Rangers, including Captain Clark (Treat Williams), are equipped with anachronistic M2 Carbines. Several of the Rangers magazines are seen taped together "Jungle Style" for faster reloads. The M2 Carbine was possibly meant as a stand in for both the M1 Garand and the Thompson Submachine gun, which are mentioned in the book.
At least two of Steiner's men are armed with FG 42 rifles when they arrive at the train station. This is historically accurate as the FG 42 was designed for and used by paratroopers.
A MG34 is seen mounted on a motorcycle during the train station scenes.
M2 Browning
A Browning M2 machine gun is seen in the armored vehicle being used during the assault on the church.
Anti-tank Weapon
M20 "Super Bazooka"
The Rangers use several anachronistic M20 Bazookas during their attempts to eliminate the Germans in the watermill and also take control of the church.
Grenade
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
Colonel Pitts and several other Rangers are seen using Mk 2 hand grenade during their assault on the church.
