Documentary stems from 1945, when infantryman Sam Fuller helped liberate the Nazis' Falkenau death camp. Fuller shot footage of his commanding officer's marching Czech locals, who denied knowing of the genocide, out from town to view the horrors of the death house. 40 years later, French documentary filmmaker Emil Weiss brought Fuller, who became a famous film director after World War II, back to the death camp to tell the story of the camp's liberation.

I mainly watched this to see V-E +1 (1945), which is Samuel Fuller's amateur shot post-war footage from when local citizens of a Czechoslovakian town had to dress and carry the corpses from concentration camps through town to give them a burial. A proper punishment for the deniers. The gruesome images speaks for itself, but Fuller's commentary give context to these powerful silent images. Fuller himself is quite a character and educates about war insanity with authority!
