All Quiet on the Western Front is the 1979 television film adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's antiwar novel that had been previously adapted into a 1930 feature film.
The following weapons were used in the film All Quiet on the Western Front:
Throughout the movie most of the German soldiers can be seen using Turkish Model 1903's as a stand in for the Gewehr 98. You can tell it is a Mauser 1903 by the lack of the Langes Visier rear sight, finger groove seen on most Gewehr 98's, and the characteristic front barrel band seen on the Mauser 98 and many of its derivatives.
In the first scene where French soldiers attack the German trench and in some later battle scenes, a ZB-53 / Vz.37, modified to look like a Maxim MG08 can be seen.
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate is used in numerous occasions by German soldiers, including the main character, Paul Baumer (Richard Thomas). It is an anachronism as the Model 24 was manufactured from 1924, after WWI. It should be a Model 17 Stielhandgranate, but M17 dummy grenades were unavailable.
