Samuel Goldwyn Films has released a trailer for an upcoming World War II historical drama titled Escape from Germanywhich tells the story of Mormon missionaries evacuated from West Germany in 1939, just days before the Nazi invasion of Poland.
The missionaries remained trapped within German borders as Hitler rushed to invade Poland. The last one managed to get out and enter Denmark on August 31. The next day Germany invaded Poland and the war began.
The synopsis reads: “Hitler’s army was rapidly closing the borders in August 1939 while 85 American missionaries were serving their church in Germany. As German military preparations intensified, word came to quickly move those LDS missionaries to safety.
“Taken from the personal diaries of those missionaries, this compelling account is a testimony that God truly guides and protects His servants, opens doors for them, and provides timely inspiration.
“The harrowing escape of these missionaries from Nazi Germany at the outbreak of World War II is one of the most remarkable yet little-known events in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
The film was directed by T.C. Christensen and the cast includes Paul Wuthrich, David Shawn McConnell, Author: Landon Henneman, Sebastian Barr, Henning Fischer, Kevin Kirshemann, Patricia PalmerAND Mr. Brad.
