The Keeper is a 2018 British-German movie directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller. The film tells the story of Bernhard Carl „Bert“ Trautmann, who is imprisoned in a British camp after being captured at the end of World War II. When the coach of the provincial club St Helens Town notices his talent, he signs him up for his club. After having his first successes as a goalkeeper and falling in love with his patron's daughter Margaret, he decides to stay in England. Sometime later, Bert, as the English now call him, attracts the attention of Man City's team manager Jock Thomson. At "City", however, the hated "Kraut" faces a gauntlet. Under immense pressure from hostile media and massive fan protests, Trautmann fights for a fair chance.
The following weapons were used in the film The Keeper:
Handguns
Enfield No. 2
Sergeant Smythe (Harry Melling) is seen with a holstered Enfield No. 2 revolver.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 is used by a Feldwebel (Sgt.) (Shenja Lacher) during Bert's flashback.
Submachine Guns
MP40
Some German soldiers are armed with MP40s.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
At the beginning of the movie, Bert Trautmann (David Kross) and several other German soldiers use Karabiner 98ks.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III*
British and also a few German soldiers can be seen carrying Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles. Actually, in 1945, British forces would have been equipped mainly with the improved Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1* (entered service in 1941), but there are also pictures showing that the No.1 Mk. III* was used at the front until the end of the war.
British soldiers discover the shellshocked Bert and take him prisoner. In reality, Trautmann deserted afterwards the bombing of Kleve and wanted to escape to his hometown Bremen. On March 27, 1945, British soldiers captured him in a barn. While trying to escape fearing he would be executed he jumped over a fence right in front of a British soldier, who greeted him with the words "Hello Fritz, fancy a cup of tea?". This scene was introduced as a cinematic element to show the seriousness of the war.
Other
A Re-education newsreel was shown to the German prisoners, which includes a British soldier holding a Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1* rifle.
