Chaos After WWII: Crime in Western Germany After 1945
This documentary uncovers the wave of crime and lawlessness that swept western Germany in the chaos after the Second World War. Amid ruined cities and desperate shortages, it recounts robberies, violence and survival on the German-Belgian border and beyond.
