What Happened to the Lost Generals of the Third Reich After 1945?

Video Description

When an army disappears, its memory vanishes too… or becomes a mystery. In May 1945, the command structure of the Third Reich collapsed within days. More than three thousand generals and senior officers vanished among the ruins of a defeated state. Some were identified, others captured; many simply disappeared without a trace. Behind Allied desks, dossiers were opened and fugitive lists drawn up — but the speed of the collapse overwhelmed every attempt at control. In the months that followed, a global hunt began: not only for the guilty, but also for potential collaborators in a new geopolitical scenario. This is the story of those senior officers who shaped the war… and then dissolved between ruins and sealed archives. Who was judged? Who was reused by new governments?
