The Bridge (2008)

The Bridge (German title: Die Brücke) is a 2008 German war movie. In the closing days of World War Two, seven idealistic teenagers are drafted into the Hitler Youth and sent to defend a bridge against the allied advance. Abandoned by the retreating, demoralized Wehrmacht, they slowly lose their idealism as they are left in a life or death battle to survive.

The following weapons appear in the film The Bridge:
