Between 1939 and 1945, thousands, perhaps millions of men and women formed intimate relationships. Yet, the Nazi rules were very clear: German men mustn’t have a sexual partner with someone from an ‘inferior race’! Doing so was under penalty of imprisonment, or even death. Homosexuals were also persecuted by the Nazis. 10,000 were sent to the Reich’s concentration camps. And to these prohibitions, one can add the prohibitions of the Allies.
For the first time, survivors who dared to sleep with the enemy during the war, and their children born into the shame of these forbidden unions, have agreed to break the taboo. Through the narration of four illicit stories and emblematic love affairs of the Second World War, this universal documentary sheds new light on the worst conflict in history.
Please be aware that this documentary is totally unsuitable for children. It is also unsuitable for the narrow-minded. – Mark
