The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985)

The new Dozen use MP40's on their mission. A few of the German soldiers are seen with them as well, but they mostly use K98's.

Major John Reisman (Lee Marvin) shows an MP40 to his men.

Luger P08

General Dietrich's aide, Colonel Schmidt (Crispin Denys) has a Luger P08 that he takes out in one scene. Dietrich says it is a "special model."
