Скачать или смотреть How Many German Soldiers Actually Knew What Hitler Had Them Fighting For?

In September 1942, a German soldier sent home a photograph from the Eastern Front—an image that raised a haunting question:
Did regular German soldiers truly know what was happening behind the front lines?

For decades after the war, veterans claimed ignorance:

“We didn’t know.”
“We just followed orders.”
“It was all secret.”

But in 2001, a German historian uncovered something hidden for 56 years in British archives—over 100,000 pages of secretly recorded conversations between captured German officers.
They spoke freely, believing no one could hear them. They were mistaken.

What they said challenges the long-held belief in a “clean” or uninvolved Wehrmacht.

This documentary examines historical records, declassified transcripts, soldiers’ letters, and official reports to reveal what ordinary troops actually knew, how orders were circulated, and why historians find no evidence of executions for refusing to harm civilians.
