At the end of World War II, many soldiers found themselves facing nothingness. Their ideals had proven to be false, and the dream of a great victory had burst. Instead, they had to come to terms with the role of the losers, experiencing the suffering they had inflicted on their opponents. This book tells the story of those soldiers who fell into captivity after World War II. Exposed to inhumane conditions and immense hardships, they were the ones who had to pay for the crimes of the Third Reich. Journalist Christian Huber has once again compiled a collection of eyewitness accounts after "The End in Sight." He vividly and compellingly describes the situation of being deprived of freedom and living only on hope.
