Trivia
Concrete and wood
The art department couldn't use any foam concrete for the sets, for it wasn't invented back in 1946. They couldn't use wood either, as it has already been fueled during the hard winter 1945.
The wrecked Plymouth
Within one scene David Bermann (Moritz Bleibtreu) and his friends destroy the red Plymouth of their opponent. The actors really crashed the car with battens, picks and iron rods - and enjoyed it a lot. Actor Tim Seyfi described it: "For us it was a children's birthday party."
Dialogues
The dialogues were written exclusively for every actor, so it would sound more natural.
