Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The production used over 20 functional T-34 tanks from Russian military museums, making it the largest armored vehicle shoot since the 1980s.
Bagration destroyed German Army Group Center but remains obscure in Western consciousness; this film is Russia's deliberate corrective to D-Day dominance.
