Don't miss Escape from Germany on DVD and Blu-ray this week!

Don’t worry if you missed out on Escape from Germany when it came out in theaters. This is one of those movies that had a limited release, and it didn’t get a lot of promotion.

It is an important movie to watch, though. While there are dramatized elements, this is based on a true story that is often overlooked. We (rightfully) focus a lot on the Jewish people during World War II, but there were others trapped and suffering at the hands of the Nazis. Escape from Germany tells us one of those stories.

As the borders around Germany are closed in 1939, a group of church missionaries find themselves trapped. The Mormon missionaries know that they could be captured and killed, so they decide to find a way out of the country. It brings us a harrowing tale that is based on real life. It was all because of the President of the German Mission who realized the threat in August 1939 and started the evacuation process that wouldn’t end until just three days before the Poland invasion.

When is Escape from Germany on DVD and Blu-ray?

You can already get Escape from Germany on Digital. The wait for it to come to DVD and Blu-ray isn’t going to be much longer, though. While most DVD releases happen on Tuesdays, this one is on a Friday. Get Friday, Sept. 6 in your diary.

You can pre-order the release if you want. We love Amazon for its price guarantee, and Escape from Germany is available to pre-order right now. With Amazon Prime, you’ll also get free shipping, and the movie will be on your doorstep by Saturday, Sept. 7.

Despite being a “low budget” movie, the setting and the costumes are outstanding. This is certainly a faith-based movie to check out for another look at the horrors of the Nazi invasion.
