'''''The Turncoat''''' is a 2020 four-part film drama directed by Florian Gallenberger (''[[John Rabe]]'', ''[[Colonia]]'') based on the novel of the same name by Siegfried Lenz. Summer 1944: Wehrmacht soldier Walter Proska has to go back to the Eastern Front. There he ends up with the unit of Willy Stehauf, a ruined bunch that fights in vain in the swamps of Rokitno against mosquitoes, partisans, and gradual madness. His officer's cruelty, his regime-critical comrade Wolfgang, but above all his love for partisan Wanda, also make Walter increasingly doubt the meaning of the war.

The Turncoat is a 2020 four-part film drama directed by Florian Gallenberger (John Rabe, Colonia) based on the novel of the same name by Siegfried Lenz. Summer 1944: Wehrmacht soldier Walter Proska has to go back to the Eastern Front. There he ends up with the unit of Willy Stehauf, a ruined bunch that fights in vain in the swamps of Rokitno against mosquitoes, partisans, and gradual madness. His officer's cruelty, his regime-critical comrade Wolfgang, but above all his love for partisan Wanda, also make Walter increasingly doubt the meaning of the war.

The following weapons were used in the miniseries The Turncoat:



Pistols

Luger P08

Unteroffizier (Sergeant) Wilhelm "Willi" Stehauf (Rainer Bock) is armed with a Luger P08 pistol.

He presses the pistol into Walter's belly (Ep. 1).
The Luger is fired by him (Ep. 2).

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 is used by the Polish partisan Wanda Zielinski (Malgorzata Mikolajczak).
