-Thousands of dead Jews could be seen in a trench

*I did some research and found out that the tank used in the film’s climax is a Panzer III, which contains 5 occuppants including the commander on its top.
**Although his death is merely mentioned, Asael is still a key character of the film, I’m counting it.
