Ivan Nikulin: Russian Sailor (Ivan Nikulin - Russkiy Matros)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ivan Nikulin: Russian Sailor is a 1944 Soviet war movie directed by Igor Savchenko. The story takes place in the Summer 1942 when a small force of Black Sea Fleet sailors was surrounded by German troops but broke out the encirclement.
The movie was not restored so the image quality is sometimes low.

Handguns
Luger P08
Several of the Soviet sailors are armed with Luger P08 pistols captured from German officers.
Vis wz. 35

Submachine guns
MP40
Many Soviet sailors are armed with MP40 submachine guns that were captured from Germans.

Soviet soldiers in the final scene are seen with PPSh-41 submachine guns. They are seen blurry due to the motion but can be identified.
