Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Chemin de la Liberté was a real escape route; thousands of refugees and Allied airmen crossed these passes, many guided by local smugglers like the film depicts.
Volker Bruch (Ludwig) also starred in 'Babylon Berlin'—this is his second time fleeing fascists on screen, and he's clearly become the go-to guy for German moral panic.
