I participated in this movie as an extra for a couple of days in june, it was a really fun experience with a lot of big bangs, real StuG IIIs in running order and even a few decent actors (extremely rare in Finland, I might add). The only sad thing was that the director, the legendary Åke Lindman, with whom I had the pleasure of exchanging a few words, was in pretty bad shape due to the heat and dust that rose all over the set. He later had to stop shooting and became hospitalized for two weeks, while the editor/2. director took over shooting the film. I don't know what to expect from the film, it could be that the artistic direction suffered a bit from the change of directors, but I'm still hopeful. Really looking forward to seeing it when it premieres on the Finnish day of independence, 7. dec.
