I'm wondering if any SME's on WW2 tank hardware have found any RS sources about the accuracy of the film from a technical point of view? The plot summary is a little long and should be trimmed, but another section on technical details would be welcome.50.111.5.185 (talk) 08:46, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think looking for "accuracy" in this movie is a red herring. This is an allegorical movie, using tanks as a backdrop for conversation about Nazism and Europe's responsibility. The Tiger tank itself during the movie is obviously a prop, it barely resembles an actual Tiger, but that's not the point. It's more of a "white whale" metaphor, and also a stand-in for Nazism itself. It's also a "ghost" tank, unmanned and moving of its own volition, so I'd say accuracy is low ;) The protagonist is a tanker that talks to tanks! This is not a movie for history buffs, though there are some nice shots of T-34s in action The andf (talk) 18:52, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll find Fedotov was played by Виталий Кищенко / Vitaliy Kishchenko. Kdammers (talk) 10:16, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
