Suri and mum Katie Holmes are in Germany with Tom for the duration of filming on his controversial new movie

Suri and mother Katie Holmes hung out on the set of Tom's new film Rubicon (formerly known as Valkyrie), as he took a break from filming the World War II thriller about a group of German officers plot to kill Hitler.

Tom plays German hero Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg in the wartime thriller surrounding a failed plot by high-ranking military officers to blow up Hitler and has come under attack for his decision to do so as well as his religious beliefs.

The controversial film depicts the ill-fated plan to blow up the dictator on July 20, 1944, which he survived, with the plotters subsequently paying with their lives.

Tom's family have relocated to Berlin for the entire duration of the filming there. And it seems they are enjoying every moment of their stay.

Tom spoke recently about how much he enjoys the simple pleasures of life in Berlin, in particular walking in Berlin's Tiergarten park.

He told German weekly Bunte with customary enthusiasm: "To my great delight I've discovered that my family and I can walk in the park at night and it's not dangerous. Fantastic."

But he admitted to feeling some pressure to the controversy stirred up by choosing to portray German hero Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg. He said: "I want to think positive and concentrate on the film. I carry a great responsibility to the Germans, for whom a man like Stauffenberg means so much.

"All I can say is, 'Save your comments until you see the movie.'

He added: "The more I learn about him, the greater my respect and my admiration of him."
