Post-WWII Violence Against Ethnic Germans
Two days after the end of the Second World War,
42 defenceless men, women and children are lined up to be shot.
Their moment of execution is captured in this rare home movie.
Their only crime is that they happen to speak German.
Their murder is part of a little-known story
about the fate of millions of ethnic Germans after the war.
They are the casualties of a peace
that will prove anarchic, vengeful and bloody.
