Young Partisans (Yunye partizani) is the thirteen or fourteen (the sources differ) issue of Boyevoy kinosbornik series, filmed in 1942 but not released at that time. It contains two segments: "Levko" and "Uchitelnitsa Kartashova/Teacher Kartashova". Both depict the partisipation of children in Soviet partisan movement.
The following weapons were used in the film Young Partisans (Yunye partizani):

Walther PPK (?)
A German officer (Hans Klering) carries a pistol in "Levko". It looks like a Walther PPK or (less credible) a Walther PP.

He fires at a Russian woman. The pistol seems to be not large enough for PP.
