Fairly recently, film of more lesser known German concentration camps have been shown (on public TV, no less); some with names I’d never heard before. The film from those camps at that time were deemed “too stark” for public consumption AT THAT TIME. (People’s “innocence” and all that.) The films were HORRIBLE beyond human belief! - My father was an American Army combat soldier in North Africa, Sicily, Italy & finally, Germany. He stated to me that in one of the camps he saw a line of piled-up dead bodies one-eighth of a mile long. I reckon the Allies had overrun the Nazis so quickly that they hadn’t had time to incinerate the visual proof of their inhumanity. - Daddy had always said that he felt some sympathy for the common German soldier who didn’t want to be there; but was forced to be there or die. However, he detested the German officers, especially the one who brutally shot his CO in the legs with a machine gun AFTER his CO was already badly wounded & was almost dead anyway. - Lord! Lord!

What is it, specifically, about the videos that makes them controversial?
