Victims of Yalta
A “harrowing” true story of World War II—the forced repatriation of two million Russian POWs to certain doom (The Times, London).

Without warning, the SS burst in, beginning 48 hours of bloodshed in which 1000 of the leading SA, including Roehm, were rounded up and slaughtered. This murderous deed became an omen of what was to come.
