We Will Come Back (US release title; original title Sekretar raykoma ("The District Secretary"), Eglish subtitled version Russian Guerrillas) is a Soviet 1942 B&W war movie directed by Ivan Pyryev. The film depicts the struggle of Soviet partisans unit, lead by the District Secretary Stepan Kochet (Vasili Vanin), against the occupational Nazi German troops under the command of Col. Makenau (Mikhail Astangov). When first attempts to destroy the partisans fail, Makenau infiltrates his spy Lt. Albrecht (Viktor Kulakov), who poses himself as Soviet Lt. Orlov, into the partisans unit. "Orlov"'s attempts are almost crowned with success but he is uncovered by radio operator Natasha (Marina Ladynina). Kochet uses "Orlov" to give Makenau disinformation about the meeting of partisans commanders. Partisans lure enemy troops in ambush and are victorious.


The following weapons were used in the film We Will Come Back (Sekretar raykoma):


Revolvers

Nagant M1895

Pistols

Tokarev TT-33

A Tokarev TT-33 pistol is a personal handgun of Stepan Kochet (Vasili Vanin). Some other Soviet partisans carry TT holsters but it's hard to say if there are pistols inside. Due to continuity errors, Col. Makenau's (Mikhail Astangov) Luger P08 switches to TT in two scenes.
