Available on Prime Video, BBC Select
S1 E4: Nearly one in five Poles died after the Nazi invasion of 1939. This eye-opening documentary destroys the myth that Poland's Nazi leaders were acting under detailed 'orders' and that the country's Nazi administration was a model of German efficiency. Instead, the Nazis' reign of terror in Poland was characterized by huge population upheavals, chaos, petty squabbles and sheer bloodlust.
