Hostages of the SS: On a Razor's Edge

This documentary follows a column of high-value SS hostages in the final days of the Second World War, as their convoy reaches the town of Niederdorf in April 1945. Mixing with the local townsfolk, the prisoners force a fragile pause, but the loss of control makes their SS captors more unpredictable and their situation more perilous. The film reconstructs a tense standoff on a razor's edge. Gripping and vivid, it captures a little-known drama of the war's end. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
