Mauser rifles are used by German troops throughout the movie. The shape of front sight and the position of top sling swivel allow to make a guess that these are Czechoslovakian produced VZ-98/29 Persian Mausers. The movie was filmed in 1942 in Ashkhabad where such rifles could be available after Iranian army was disarmed during Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran.

In "The Signal" a Red Army soldier with Mosin Nagant M1891/30 rifle guards German POWs.
Machine Guns

In "The Signal" German troops use a DP-27. The machine gun lacks the magazine, and so doesn't fire on screen.
Maxim
A Maxim is seen in "The Signal". It's hard to say if it is M1910 or M1910/30.
MG08
An MG08 is seen in a German dugout in the opening sequence.
