Escape from Germany (2024)

 'Escape from Germany' tells the true story of the evacuation of 85 LDS missionaries and the mission president and family, from Germany at the breakout of the Second World War. The action is principally divided between two narratives: The escape of the family and staff at the mission office, who escape in part by hijacking a train 'Von Ryan's Express' style, this appears to be exaggerated as I can't find any colaberation for this story online. The other narrative appears to be a pretty accurate account of the escape of the missionaries in the field, led by Elder Norman Sebold (Paul Wurthrich, who looks something like Nicholas Holt). Of the many T.C. Christensen directed films telling a story from LDS history this is the one set closest to the present day and wrings alot of extra production value from some location shooting in Bucharest. 'Escape from Germany' has the distinction of being the feature film with the longest 'what happened next' wrap up texts at the end of the film. ***
