The Boys
Synopsis
When Continuation War started in Summer 1941, German soldiers arrived to Oulu. With their charm they conquered women and town boys.

The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
