Yet many people tried to cross the border by forging identity papers, digging tunnels, climbing into hot-air balloons or hiding in cars going West. BMW’s film is based on the true story of Klaus-Günter Jacobi, who helped his best friend flee East Germany by smuggling him across the Berlin Wall in a BMW Isetta. It was directed by Alex Feil.
