Summary of Paul Roland's Life After the Third Reich - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 After Hitler's thousand-year Reich collapsed, three million British and American troops and their allies converged on the heartland of National Socialism from the west, while six and a half million Soviet troops descended on Berlin from the east. #2 The liberation of the death camps was the first step towards exposing the genocide.
The scale of the enterprise had prevented the timely disposal of damning evidence, and so thousands of spectacles, shoes, suits, coats, dresses, suitcases, and toys were left behind. #3 The Soviet propaganda machine made the most of these discoveries, providing an added incentive for the Red Army to wreak their revenge on the Germans, military and civilians alike. #4 The British and American press and broadcasters were highly skeptical of reports of brutality against Slavic women and children.
They were even more skeptical of reports of brutality against Soviet soldiers.
