What no one is talking about.
Cemeteries of newborn children in Germany.
"Here lie 360 Polish, Ukrainian and Russian children who perished between 1943 and 1945," reads the plaque in Braunschweig.
"Peter - 3 months, Olya - 19 days, Maricia - 17 days... ".
Between 1942 and 1945, an estimated 5.5 to 7.5 million young people were forcibly taken from the Soviet Union and Poland to Germany. Prisoners were forced to work at the Rheinmetall arms factory, the Volkswagen car factory, or were enslaved as farm laborers and domestic servants in German households. Most of these female prisoners were girls between the ages of 17 and 20. Due to rape by factory guards and supervisors, or intimacy with their countrymen, equally deplorable and forcibly taken to Germany, the young women gave birth to children.
The Nazi administration took away newborns so that mothers would not be distracted from work by caring for children. The babies were sent to orphanages where the mortality rate reached 90%.
Sick and healthy children were kept together. They were kept in squalid unsanitary conditions - no running water, no electricity. At night the babies were left alone. Most of them died of dysentery and starvation. Their bodies were thrown en masse into pits. After the war, these burial sites were discovered and memorial tombstones were erected in their place. Until the 1980s, Germany did not recognize these victims at all.
The first and second videos were filmed at the Braunschweig infant cemetery. This cemetery alone contains the remains of 360 children. Dozens of such cemeteries exist throughout Germany.
It is estimated that around 100,000 children died in these orphanages during the war.
Neither Volkswagen nor Rheinmetall paid a single cent in compensation. Only one person - Volkswagen's chief doctor - was executed by the British for mass murder.
