Die Wehrmacht - eine Bilanz

During the past years, a heated and highly controversial discussion has emerged concerning the Wehrmacht and its public image, initiated last but not least by the exhibition that caused such a stir. This TV series uses most recent scientific findings and sources to depict the structure, the role, and the self-image of Hitler's army in between the war of destruction and later resistance of singular officers, and it questions the scope of the freedom of choice of individual soldiers.
