Beyond the Myth: The SS Unveiled
S1 E62022
Unrepentant: The SS and its myth after 1945
Episode Synopsis
The sixth episode draws a line to the present. The myth of the SS has lived on after 1945. Many Nazi perpetrators fled to exile unscathed with the help of the Vatican or the US intelligence services. Yet some did not escape punishment and were forced to confront their responsibility. Although the atrocities of the SS are beyond all doubt, among current far-right groups, there is a cult surrounding “old comrades” and SS symbolism.
