Germany after the Second World War | The Abyss Ep. 10 | Full Documentary

It's the end of WW2 in Europe. But how to get on with victims and perpetrators?

On April 16, 1945, a few days after the liberation of the concentration camp "Buchenwald" by US soldiers, people from nearby Weimar visited the concentration camp after WW2. The German population has to take responsibility, after WW2. It's one of the biggest crimes ever committed: A mass murder of six million Jews. But it's like a national hymn: everybody says that they didn't know about it.

1945 is the year of Germany's total defeat in WW2. Not only the fact that the Germans lost WWII, but also the moral defeat is perhaps the greatest defeat. In the spring of 1945, after WW2, the Allies face a difficult task. What should be done with the Germans?

In WW2, 65 million have died. Who should be punished now?
