This mimics a scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a MUCH more light-hearted film about Nazis by Steven Spielberg.

Walther P38
A Walther P38 is only seen in one scene, when Goethe has to dig up and then burn the bodies from the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto. One of his men feigns madness and fires into the mass of burning corpses.
The Luger P08 appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film. All executions by pistol are done with Lugers. The Lugers used had to be flashpaper guns, and were likely retained in later scenes for continuity reasons.

The pistol misfires at first, and then Goethe removes and checks the magazine, pulls back on the toggle bolt (ejecting a round) and tries to fire again, with the same result. Barring an act from God, there's probably something wrong with the firing pin (as speculated by Goethe's men.)Error creating thumbnail: File missingGoethe executes one of twenty-five men to warn against future escape attempts. Notice the weird muzzle-flash, indicating that these are probably flash paper guns.

It's surprising that a concentration camp commander would feel the need to have a backup pistol.Error creating thumbnail: File missingGoethe is frustrated that his backup pistol won't finish the job either. He repeatedly racks the slide, but as no rounds are ejected, the pistol is probably just empty.
Unknown revolver
In a quick editing mistake, when Goethe and his lieutenants walk away after failing to execute Lewartow, they pick up a revolver from the ground, supposedly discarded by Goethe when it wouldn't fire. The pistol is not seen in the scene prior to being picked up.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe CZ27 magically morphs into a rather large revolver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe revolver after Goethe drops it on the ground. It's possible that the crew switched to a rubber gun to avoid dropping the CZ27, which is probably pretty rare nowadays, and a rubber copy is unlikely to exist.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
Two German soldiers can be seen with Mosin Nagant M91/30s in the camp while rounding up Jews.
