Trivia
Concrete and wood
The art department couldn't use any foam concrete for the sets, for it wasn't invented back in 1946. They couldn't use wood either, as it has already been fueled during the hard winter 1945.
Dialogues
The dialogues were written exclusively for every actor, so it would sound more natural.
Based upon a novel
'Bye Bye Germany' is based upon the first novel by Michel Bergmann, 'The Travelling Salesmen'. Bergmann is also a co-screenwriter for the film.
