Black Pea Coats (Chyornye bushlaty)

Black Pea Coats (Chyornye bushlaty) is a Russian 2018 war mini-series directed by Vitaliy Vorobyov. The plot depicts the activities of a Soviet special operations squad of the Northern Fleet in 1941 (inspired by the real 181st Separate Reconnaissance Squad and its serviceman, subsequently commander Viktor Leonov). "Black pea coats" was a common nickname of the Soviet naval infantry (marines).

== Unidentified Mauser rifle ==
In the same scene another Jäger, seen only through the sniper scope, holds a Mauser 98 style carbine with straight bolt handle.
