Front Without Mercy (Front ohne Gnade) is a 1984 East German TV series directed by Rudi Kurz. The story depicts the activities of a group of Communist anti-Nazi resistance in Germany in 1930s-1940s, lead by Hermann Anders (Jürgen Zartmann). The third part (Eps. 8-11) is set in 1942, in Germany and on Nazi-occupied territory of Soviet Union. Anders and his comrades-in-arms assist Soviet counterintelligence service to prevent the activities of a well-prepared saboteurs group during the Battle of the Caucasus on Soviet-German front.
The following weapons were used in the film Front ohne Gnade:
In the scene in train in "Unternehmen Feuerball" (Ep.8) Hermann Anders (Jürgen Zartmann), disguised as Wehrmacht officer, is armed with a CZ 27 pistol (German designation P.27(t)).
In "Unternehmen Feuerball" (Ep.8) Walther PP pistols are used by various German officers. Hildegard Wille (Heidemarie Wenzel), a member of saboteur group, carries a Walther PP in "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11).
A saboteur (Stoyan Gudev) uses a Walther P38 during the training in "Gefahr fur Pablo" (Ep.10). Gestapo operative Helmut Leif (Willi Schrade) uses a P38 in "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11).
In "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11) Luger P08 pistols are used by Cyrus Rosenfeld (Hans Teuscher), the butler in SS-Brigadeführer Maas' estate and deep-cover British agent, and Gestapo guards.
Soviet intellegence officer Boris (Petr Skarke) carries a TT-33 in "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11). A TT is also used by a Soviet officer in the final scene of Ep.11. TT holsters are seen in several scenes in Eps.8-11 but it's impossible to say if there are pistols inside.
A pistol that appears to be a Browning Hi-Power without hammer and sight, that was seen in Eps.5 and 6, is seen in a pile of weapons, surrendered by saboteurs in the final scene in Ep.11.
An MP40 with sawed-off barrel is used by Hermann Anders (Jürgen Zartmann) in "Todliche Falle" (Ep.9), "Gefahr fur Pablo" (Ep.10) and "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11).
Soviet soldiers and partisans are armed with PPSh-41 submachine guns in Eps.8-11. Hermann Anders (Jürgen Zartmann) holds a PPSh in "Unternehmen Feuerball" (Ep.8).
German soldiers of Wehrmacht and SS and personnel of saboteur group use Karabiner 98k rifles in "Todliche Falle" (Ep.9), "Gefahr fur Pablo" (Ep.10) and "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11).
An SS sniper uses a Karabiner 98k with sniper scope in "Todliche Falle" (Ep.9). At least two different rifles are used in this scene; one rifle has hooded front sight and another one lacks the hood. In "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11) Gestapo operatives (Alexander Wikarski and Klaus-Jürgen Steinmann) use sniper 98k rifles.
Mauser rifles of a different model are seen in "Unternehmen Feuerball" (Ep.8). They combine features of Karabiner 98k and Vz.24 Czech Mauser (typical front sight). Same looking rifles are seen in Part 1 of the series.
Soviet BM-37 mortars, standing for German Granatwerfer 34 Mortar, are used by German troops in "Gefahr fur Pablo" (Ep.10). Mortars are of late version, with the muzzle device, preventing double loading.
A concealed explosive device, disguised as a thermos bottle, is used by Hildegard Wille (Heidemarie Wenzel) during the saboteur operation in "In den Felsen des Kaukasus" (Ep.11) (it's not a weapon in full sence of the word but it is listed here for the sake of completeness).
A Junkers F.13 transport plane (a modern replica, as it seems to be fitted with out of time engine) is seen in the scene when the saboteur group is transported on Soviet territory in the Caucasus mountains.
