As it said towards the end of the documentary, all this information is little known outside of Germany. And how apt the expression..History is written by the victor's.. truly is when you see man's inhumanity to man writ large here.
As someone born in post war Britain, it was a total shock to see how savagely rough justice was handed out, without any regard for law or due process.
It was depressing to see how war had reduced humanity to act like this in revenge, making the victorious no better than those they had vanquished. There was no moral high ground in victory here, only a hollowed out empty feeling.
Plot summary
How, in 1945, after the end of World War II and the fall of the Nazi regime, the defeated were atrociously mistreated, especially those ethnic Germans who had lived peacefully for centuries in Germany's neighboring countries, such as Czechoslovakia and Poland. A heartbreaking story of revenge against innocent civilians, the story of acts as cruel as the Nazi occupation during the war years.

Not the way Hollywood tells it..
A wake up for anyone aware of current events
The atrocities committed by the " honorable and victorious allies" deserves to be called into question. These leaders and their criminal cronies took a horrific calamity and used it as a device for their own twisted ethnic and political schemes. This documentary explicitly describes these atrocities from first hand eyewitnesses, film footage as well as the victims themselves. It truly sheds light on the Kalergi Plan of ethnic cleansing of the German peoples as well as the ethnic redrawing of Europe BY FORCE that we now see today has resulted in turning Europe into an ethnically violent tinderbox. A truly eye opening documentary to start from that may drive the viewer to dive deeper into study of the topic. All of this is well documented and anyone even remotely interested in post war history already knows about these atrocities committed by "the good guys". This doc shoots straight and doesn't pull any punches. A great starting point!
Misery Has A Long Memory
This documentary mainly concentrates on the reprisals of the Czechs against its German-speaking population following the end of WWII. The creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918/1919 from the Australia-Hungarian Empire was a country of Bohemians, Moravians, Slovaks, Hungarians, and Germans. Hitler used the issue of Sudetenland Germans to force the country to cede portions of the country to Germany in 1938, as France and Great Britain reneged on their commitment to protect Czechoslovakia's sovereignty. Six months later, the Germans invaded the country and created a protectorate, brutalizing its slavonic-speaking population. In 1945, after 7 years of abuse and humiliation, the revenge against Nazis and all Germans was swift, violent, and equally deadly. The film also refers to the Polish revenge of its German-speaking population as well as the Russian Army's brutality against German civilians, especially women.
