What did the Holocaust look like from the perspective of a Nazi soldier?

In this video we tell the story of an ordinary German draftee during World War II, following his path from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to his eventual role inside the Nazi camp system.

You’ll see how a regular Wehrmacht soldier becomes involved in deportations, mass shootings on the Eastern Front, and the daily routine of Auschwitz.
The video shows how the Holocaust functioned not only through high-ranking officials, but through thousands of lower-level soldiers carrying out orders.

It also covers the final collapse of Nazi Germany, the chaos of 1945, and how the “just following orders” defense was later challenged in court.

A World War II historical narrative exploring Nazi Germany, Auschwitz, and how ordinary men became part of the Holocaust.
