Production
The filming process took place in a severe frost in the winter of 2017-2018 in one of the deserted settlements of the Mosalsky District.[7] The scenery for the film was created a year before the start of official filming, but due to inappropriate weather conditions, the work of the film crew had to be postponed for nine months.[8]
Actor Wolfgang Cerny initially was offered a small role of a Nazi in the film, but he found it boring and one-dimensional and the character ended up being completely rewritten, with Braun becoming a super-soldier who is into tactics and is determined to be the best possible soldier.[8]
