Seen a lot of documentaries in my day on all things WWII, but this one is really worth the watch. Most of the time, they're rehash of the basic facts we all known about, stock vid you have probably seen before and done, usually taken from accounts/books we have all seen/read. Much of the vid never seen before, given to the makers of the documentary from family members of the SS soldiers. This documentary interviews surviving members of the SS, and gets them to openly talk about what they did, how they felt doing it, etc. The level of mass psychopathy is hard to grasp, so it's ignored by so many, and listening to them talk is a level of malevolence, that exists to this day, is something difficult to watch and absorb, even among those who are no strangers to the details. This should be required viewing in any school, etc. Facts and figured don't penetrate when they're that big, but hearing it right from the people who did it, is a very different experience. "Never again" does mean a damn thing if most people really don't understand it at the visceral levels required:
