’’The Bridge (1959)

The Bridge (German title: Die Brücke) was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Foreign Language Film in 1960 and considered by many to be the greatest German film about World War II and among the greatest anti-war films of all time. Based on the novel by Manfred Gregor and directed by Bernhard Wicki, the film depicts the last months of the war, during which the Germans conscripted teenagers and old men to defend the crumbling Reich. The retreating, demoralized Wehrmacht abandons seven teens in a life or death battle to defend a worthless bridge against advancing Americans. An eponymous remake was released for television in 2008.

The following weapons appear in the film The Bridge:
