The Captain is a 2017 World War II German-language drama directed by Robert Schwentke (Red, Flightplan). Set in 1945 near the end of the Second World War, the film is based on the real story of Willi Herold, a young German deserter who assumes the identity of a Luftwaffe captain after finding an abandoned captain uniform, and gradually transforms from a cowardly nobody into a ruthless German officer.


The following weapons were used in the film The Captain:
