1945: The Savage Peace

Synopsis: A documentary about post-war reprisals against Germans in Eastern Europe. Using rare and unseen archive film, the programme 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.
