Our Mothers, Our Fathers

Our Mothers, Our Fathers, also known as Generation War, is a 2013 German three-part World War II miniseries. Berlin in the summer of 1941, shortly before the German attack on the Soviet Union: five young Berliners say goodbye to each other, as three of them have to go to the Eastern Front as soldiers. Like almost all Germans, Wilhelm, Charlotte, Friedhelm, Greta, and Viktor firmly believe that the war will soon be over and Germany will be victorious. How wrong the friends are is history. The film shows the fates of the five 20-something Berliners who are unexpectedly caught up in the turmoil of a cruel war, after which nothing is the same as it was before. Their stories are representative of what had such a profound impact on an entire generation.

Throughout the series, a variety of Karabiner 98ks are used; the standard early version, the mid-war version with hooded front sights, and late-war models with welded barrel bands. In addition to this, some Czechoslovakian-manufactured Kar98ks are also seen.
==Zastava M48 Mauser==
Friedhelm and Dorgerloh (Paul Maaß) can be seen armed with the M48 Yugoslavian Mauser, despite the fact that this is impossible; the M48 is a post-war Mauser that started in production in 1948, years after this is set.
