Unlike ordinary German POWs, captured Waffen-SS men were considered war criminals by the Red Army. For Stalin’s Soviet Union, they weren’t just prisoners they were executioners, symbols of Hitler’s brutal war in the East. Many were beaten, starved, or disappeared into the NKVD prison system, never to return. Others were marched to the gulags of Siberia or executed on the spot.
In today’s documentary, we uncover the forgotten truth of what became of the SS soldiers captured by the Soviets using survivor testimonies, secret files, and first-hand accounts. This is not propaganda, but the raw history of the Waffen-SS and their fate at the hands of the Red Army.
