When the Second World War ended, the people of liberated Europe
celebrated their freedom from Nazi tyranny. Their years of suffering had
ended, but for millions of Germans, the end of the conflict opened a
new and terrible chapter.
The Savage Peace reveals the appalling violence meted out to the
defeated, especially to those ethnic Germans who had lived peacefully
for centuries in neighbouring countries. Using rare and unseen archive
film, the documentary tells a harrowing story of vengeance against
German civilians, which mirrored some of the worst cruelty of the Nazi
occupiers during the years of war. The Savage Peace includes the unique
testimony of eyewitnesses and victims, who recall the horrors with
searing clarity, theirmemories undimmed 70 years after the events took
place. This a story that has, until now, been untold amidst the
justified celebration of an end to an unspeakable tyranny. But as the
writer George Orwell said, the treatment of the defeated Germans was a
terrible crime that has gone unpunished.
