1945. The Savage Peace
Description
A powerful documentary revealing the appalling violence meted out to the defeated in 1945. Using rare and unseen archive film, this program tells a harrowing story of vengeance against German civilians, which mirrored some of the worst cruelty of the Nazi occupiers during the years of war. It includes the unique testimony of eyewitnesses and victims, who recall the horrors with searing clarity- their memories undimmed 70 years after the events took place. This is a story that has, until now, not been told, amidst the justified celebration of an end to an unspeakable tyranny. It offers a moving and vivid picture of Europe in ruins.
