By Rocket to the Moon (German title, Frau im Mond, 1929) was directed by Fritz Lang and is considered by many to be the first serious, full-length, science fiction motion picture. Fanciful in some respects, the movie, which garnered the advice of Germany’s early rocket scientists, was prescient in many technical respects, including the first filmed count-down, a multi-staged rocket, necessary escape velocity and resultant g-forces, and the effects of Earth and moon’s relative gravitation fields. Hitler was impressed by the movie and Werner von Braun and his associates were inspired by the film to make a manned moon landing their lifelong goal, culminating in the Saturn V rocket and the Apollo moon project. The film starred Willy Fritsch, Gerda Maurus, Fritz Rasp, Klaus Pohl, Gustav von Wangenheim (as Gustav v. Wangenheim), and Josephine, the Mouse. A German industrialist, Wolf Helius (Fritsch), is blackmailed by a crime syndicate to lead a mission to the moon in search of gold.
The following firearms were used in the film By Rocket to the Moon:
Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket
Turner (Fritz Rasp) threatens Helius (Willy Fritsch) with a Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket.
Mauser Pocket Pistol
Turner and Ingenieur Hans Windegger (Gustav von Wangenheim) fight for control of the moon rocket ‘’Friede’’ with a Mauser Pocket Pistol.
