Surviving In A Cruel New World After World War 2 | Crime in Post-War Germany | Documentary

In the years following the end of the Second World War, Germany experienced a period of disorder and uncertainty. Its people endured extreme conditions, often with little hope for a brighter future. Many Germans were compelled to seek new ways to ensure their survival. Driven by hunger, numerous women placed themselves in perilous situations, venturing out of town to obtain food through trade. Sadly, it was not uncommon for them to become victims of sexual assault and rape during these dangerous journeys. The chaos extended beyond the general population, as post-war life posed significant obstacles to law enforcement, particularly in Berlin, where gangsters and criminals sowed discord in the midst of turmoil. Traumatized and burdened by their painful past under the Nazi regime, the darkest aspects of human nature were revealed, leading to the commission of terrifying and heinous crimes.
The documentary Crime in Post-War Germany shows how strained life was between 1945 and 1949 in the four occupied zones. Using the example of individual, particularly serious criminal cases, like in Dresden where a wood collector comes across the severed legs of a person or in Hamburg, where the so-called rubble murders terrify the whole city.
Criminal psychologists and forensic experts set out to search for clues and analyze the brutal crimes. Historians and witnesses describe the state of emergency of the late 1940s which ended with the founding of two German states.

An old military relative made family money that is on its 3d generation and all from smuggling, diamonds for cigarettes, I mean truck loads of American cigarettes which the Americans where deeply involved. I’m 61 and I knew of this from boyhood. Every Christmas we leave a empty chair for Henry he made 3 generations of his family’s life easy and much good came from his smuggling 🇮🇪.

Still a lot of work!

Not too worry..Like all history, time passes and hindsight grants clearer observations of reality.

Yeah post war Germany. Sheesh, the amount of disturbed folks with PTSD running about.

Did or didn't the German newspapers at that time treat the argument??

As we enter another decade of war perhaps this is relevant?

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Its the second time I saw exactly the same documentary.German population and former state were completely crushed. Allies exploited German chaotic for themselves, interesting, and enjoying.

[@ryanreedgibson]

Germany GOT EVERYTHING IT HAD COMING. With the exception of the rapes. Under no circumstances is S.O. okay. But everything else, it got off so easy. I'm glad that a majority of the current population repudiates the far right and left. I wish America did as well.

[@robertomeneghetti6215]

The consequence of what Germans made previously... nothing else!

[@joekulik999]

It's BS how this narration tries to connect these criminals with details of their personal background. ALL these criminals were suffering from war related PTSD. That was the biggest factor in their criminal behavior. There are a surprising number of murders committed by US Combat Soldiers returning from the wars in the Middle East as well.

[@damonmelendez856]

And what about the blacks? They’re all suffering under systemic racism. And the Legacy of Slavery (tm)

[@damonmelendez856]

Also the US Army had a significant number of blacks stationed there in Germany.

[@davidjackson2690]

No there aren't. Murders and crime didn't spike when our vets came home from WWII.

[@andrzejbiesiadecki9192]

WHO was the power that's geve French the Power to be one of the occupants ???

[@capoislamort100]

That’s what I said: they had no business being occupiers when they lost the war.

[@Dan-n-Duke-jr2ic]

Probably has to do with them not honoring the treaty of Versailles? And then invading France...but idk, im just guessing

[@DerParsifal]

Because de Gaulle was an adept politician who parlayed the Free French participation in the Alliance into a seat at the table and the Allies saw France's participation to diminish Russia's share in the spoils of war. At the time France had a huge colonial empire in Africa and Sout East Asia and elsewhere.

Britian was its main proponent due to guilt. Although I personally believe the guilt was misplaced. [See: The Rise & Fall, William L. Shirer, 1960, pg. 780 - 900]
