On the eve of World War II, most countries already knew that railways were essential in terms of logistics. They had used the train during the First World War to transport troops and supplies. But between 1939 and 1946, control of the train became even more strategic for economic and industrial reasons, but above all, it became a weapon. An armored monster, invisible even to military intelligence services on the ground. An asset for organizing battles but also, and this was new at the time, for transporting civilians fleeing cities. The engine was modernized, the locomotives were customized to become true war machines: fast and strong. This unprecedented series will focus on four famous European battles of World War II: the Battle of Britain, the failure of Barbarossa, Operation Overlord, and the liberation of France. Combining archives, testimonies, graphic design, 3D imagery and detailed and dynamic mapping, each battle will be brought to life to understand the importance of trains at the heart of the war.

The Nuremberg Einsatzgruppen trial of 1947/1948 is considered the largest murder trial in history against members of four death squads from the security police and SD (the security service of the SS). During World War II, six million Jews were murdered. Four million died in the extermination camps, but two million people were killed in systematic mass shootings. A fact that is hardly known today. The perpetrators came face to face with their victims. They shot at men, women, children - day after day, obediently and assiduously, as if it were normal work. Tens of thousands of Germans belonged to the mobile commandos of the task forces and police battalions. Who were these men, how could they commit such murders? What did the few survivors tell, how were they able to escape the mass extinction and live on with the horrific experience? Based on written traditions, original documents, film footage and photos as well as expert statements, the documentary traces the path of one of these murder battalions.
