1945: The Savage Peace

May 1945. The war is over, but peace remains a distant promise. For millions of ethnic Germans who had lived for centuries in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and across Eastern Europe, liberation brings a new nightmare. They face not reconciliation, but a savage wave of retribution—collective, brutal, and indiscriminate. The documentary 'The Savage Peace' meticulously uncovers this hidden chapter: the systematic expulsions, violence, and killings of civilian Germans that followed the collapse of the Nazi regime. It is a stark examination of how one cycle of atrocity begets another, revealing the bitter cost of victory paid by the innocent.
