1945-Changing the Story
Description
By 1945, propaganda machines that had geared populations for war now have to prepare them for peace. With the beginning of the Cold War, enemies become partners and allies now foes. The "free French" retake their beloved city of Paris under the leadership of Charles De Gaulle and Nazi collaborators are outed and publicly humiliated. Meanwhile American sleuths go searching for "evidence" to convict Germans-former propagandists are hoisted on the very images they created. The Allies will begin a process of "de-Nazification," trying to persuade Germans that what they have believed for years under Hitler is all lies. Meanwhile as much of the West celebrates the "end of war," it is far from over in the Pacific.
