It was a very difficult documentary to watch as it reminded me of the horror stories my grandfather, grandmother and their siblings recalled about post World War 2 Europe. The horrors and evils of the Nazi party were rightfully ended, but savage retaliation against ethnic Germans began.
Most of the documentaries we watch on television are about three key things Antiquity, World War 1 and especially World War 2 all of which are told from the Anglo-American perspective which borders on the Anti-German and all of their war crimes. This long overdue documentary shows and reminds us during the Second World War the Axis powers had their fair share of suffering and the Allies did their fair share of war crimes one of which everyone knows about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This is a bad attempt to re-write history. This film compares the prisoners and the victims of German troops ,captured invading other lands, and innocent citizens who who where killed or captured from their home by Germans.
Reading between the lines, what I got out of this movie was that the USA, UK and Russia decided to commit "the biggest genocide in history of humanity" as labeled by the creators by expelling the German-speaking population from Eastern European countries and reducing the size of Germany by a third.The other point I got was that there was a reprisal against the civilian German population that was actively involved in aiding Nazis in terms of committing atrocities.
The atrocities committed by the " honorable and victorious allies" deserves to be called into question. These leaders and their criminal cronies took a horrific calamity and used it as a device for their own twisted ethnic and political schemes.
This documentary mainly concentrates on the reprisals of the Czechs against its German-speaking population following the end of WWII. The creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918/1919 from the Australia-Hungarian Empire was a country of Bohemians, Moravians, Slovaks, Hungarians, and Germans.
