The organization created to raise money for the movie was led by Admiral Jan Klenberg and was protected[clarification needed] by former Finnish President Mauno Koivisto.

The movie was made using a wide array of genuine wartime vehicles and, when it was not possible to acquire originals, replicas were used.

Some of the tanks used had participated in the actual real-life battles depicted in the film and had been stored in a museum.

Also used was a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 replica made by the German company Flug + Werk.
