Kriegsende

Overview

Kriegsende (War’s End) was produced in 1991, immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union under the working title Russians in Berlin. The film was shot two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall between October 1991 and March 1992 in the eastern and western parts of Berlin. Filming took place around the former Soviet garrison in Potsdam, at the Wünsdorf headquarters, in one of the retreating Red Army’s military trains, at the Soviet border in Brest and along the Oder-Neisse line at the Seelow Heights.
