Скачать или смотреть Prisoners of the Polar Night: The Unknown Tragedy of World War II

"Beyond the Arctic Circle, in the harsh snows of Norway, lies a little-known chapter of history. More than 100,000 Soviet soldiers were imprisoned in Norwegian camps between 1941 and 1945. Of these, 14,000 were sent beyond the Arctic Circle—to a realm of permafrost, polar nights, and the northern lights.

In this documentary, we will reveal the dramatic story of these people trapped in the extreme conditions of the Arctic. You will learn about the incredible resilience of the human spirit, the help of local residents, and amazing rescues.

Unique archival materials, photographs, and documents, kept classified for many years, will be shown for the first time. Witnesses of those events and historians will help reconstruct the full picture of what happened in the camps of northern Norway.

This is a story of the strength of the human spirit, mutual assistance, and hope that never faded even in the darkest times.
