New and Tremendous Contribution to WW2 History
WW2 documentary junkies, like me, will often get to a place, in which overlapping film content will have contradictory content. For example, among many documentaries describing Dunkirk, I have heard many explanations for Hitler's hesitation to wipe-out the Allies at Dunkirk. When cases like this accumulate from viewing many, many documentaries, it suggests that there is little new material to bring forth. THIS ONE LECTURE BLOWS OPEN THE DOOR.
Professor Robert Watson presents a compelling lecture on a heretofore unknown incident at the conclusion of the war. In less than an hour, he connects classified(later unsealed) documents, the sinking of the Titanic, a propaganda fiasco at the hands of Goebbels, and a macabre, horrific incident at a port on the Baltic sea, in which everyone is everyone else's enemy. Tragic, jaw-dropping, vast-in-scope, and as cataclysmic as the fire-bombing of Dresden, this story can now be told. Thankfully, you will be comforted with some poignant, redeeming, human-interest stories arising from this well-documented incident.
You may need some tissues handy, but, I expect viewers to rise up with a new resolve to seek peace and pursue it.
