Fritz Reiser: They say in Germany when you die as a soldier you are honored. That's something, isn't it? Siberia? Not for me. I'm cold enough.
Trivia: The scene where the Soviet tank fires its main cannon, cutting a German soldier in half, was inspired by an actual incident in William Craig's book about the battle of Stalingrad, "Enemy at the Gates."
Question: The Russian tank has the number '206' stamped in its machine gun assembly, but mirrored. Is the picture flipped, or is it something ordinary and has no significance at all?
Answer: There are multiple Russian tanks in the movie. You have to be more specific about when.
