Surrender, the fall of the Reich

Surrender captures the saga that unfolded during the final episodes of World War II and the first steps into a new world: from the German counter-offensive in the Ardennes in the winter of 1944 to VE Day on May 8, 1945, ending the war in Europe. Between chaotic times and new hopes, stories of everyday experiences are told by ordinary men and women, soldiers and civilians from all countries involved, caught up in these defining moments. Using colorized and sound-designed archives remastered in HD, the documentary transports viewers into those crucial months when the fate of entire populations was disrupted.
