Some of the biggest names in German industry -- including Volkswagen, Daimler-Benz, Krupp, and BMW -- profited during World War II in part because they used slave and forced labor, Lesley Stahl reports in this piece from 1998. Millions of Jews, Poles, and Russians who were taken prisoner by the Nazis were enslaved, working under horrific conditions.

A powerful documentary revealing the appalling violence meted out to the defeated in 1945. Using rare and unseen archive film, 1945: The Savage Peace tells a harrowing story of vengeance against German civilians, which mirrored some of the worst cruelty of the Nazi occupiers during the years of war. It includes the unique testimony of eyewitnesses and victims, who recall the horrors with searing clarity, their memories undimmed 70 years after the events took place. This a story that has, until now, not been told, amidst the justified celebration of an end to an unspeakable tyranny. It offers a moving and vivid picture of Europe in ruins.

Description
America was now the richest nation in the world; Britain was victorious, but bankrupt; the Soviet Union had been devastated but was ideologically strong and committed to the victory of its brand of communism. The cooperation of the war years and the hopes of its continuation faded and Europe faced years of extreme hardship. The forces that were to shape international politics for the next fifty years emerged in 1945.
