Hitler's Downfall and Unconditional Surrender | Countdown to Surrender - The Last 100 Days | Ep. 3

On April 16, 1945, the Red Army begins the attack on Berlin. Its generals accept heavy losses. In the west, the British and Americans liberated the first concentration camps of the second World War.
They find piles of corpses and emaciated prisoners. Hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers surrender. Churchill does not want to leave Berlin to Stalin, but Eisenhower decides against it. He feared that German units might entrench themselves in the Alps. Hitler has finally realized that the war - the Second World War - is lost. Only Goebbels remains in the Führerbunker with his family. Hitler commits suicide with his wife Eva Braun on April 30. The Goebbels family did not survive the downfall either. It is up to the executors around Grand Admiral Dönitz to declare unconditional surrender. The Second World War in Europe ends on May 8.

As a 10 year old in the mid 70s i watched the peerless ITN series 'The World at War'. Prime time telly. And nothing blurred. The dreadful images are seared on my mind. KZbin is doing a disservice to youngsters who want to learn by blurring and sanitising. These 1940s films and photos were taken for a reason, so that we never forget.

Because KZbin is global and different countries have different laws on viewing content in enforcing way before any of the so-called woke was in place. Just look at children's TV programmes now to how different they were in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This was forced on KZbin to be the European government they don't have a choice.
