Spotted this Gem the other day, its the complete series. Wehrmacht tells a concise story of the successes and failures. Both of the propaganda the German soldier was exposed to and the military tactics employed. The culpability of the Officer corp and the excessive nature of the Nazi regime. Trent park extracts also give honest opinions from captured officers.

There are various recordings from Trent Park, one of Edwin Graf von Rothkirch und Trach confirming knowledge of atrocities
"I knew an SS leader pretty well, and we talked about this and that, and one day he said: 'Listen, if you ever want to film one of these shootings? …I mean, it doesn't really matter. These people are always shot in the morning. If you're interested, we still have a few left over, and we could also shoot them in the afternoon if you like."
I have examined the episode again and although I understand your point . I find the recorded conversations totally damning and I find them more relevant and revealing than numbers..as they are actually talking about individual events and not just that but the total brainwashing in the Wehrmacht...to the extent where children and unarmed civilians are treated like animals???...Jew, Pole, Russian etc its irrelevant, because they are all human beings and they are all being treated like vermin...its beyond belief that it happened ...but it did!!Last edited by Toby; 15 Oct 17,, 22:34.
