Trivia
Armoured Train
A genuine WWII-era armoured train appears in the movie. It's a late war version of Soviet armoured trains. It consists of two armoured wagons, one with three turrets of T-34 tanks with 76.2-mm F-34 guns, and another one with a single such turret, and of several flatcars with 76.2-mm M1938 AA guns, 37-mm M1939 AA guns, 45-mm M1937 guns and numerous machine guns.
Pz. III Tank
Genuine German Pz. III tanks appear in the movie.
Armoured Car
A mockup of the Sd. Kfz. 231 (6-rad) German armoured car is seen in one scene. It's a movie prop, specially made for filming. Note that the turret isn't rotating.
