Песок по Рейн-вестфальски
65,000 Soviet soldiers and officers, prisoners of Stalag 326, remained forever in German soil, becoming victims of Nazi crimes. After the end of World War II, only local residents knew about the "Russian cemetery" in Stuckenbrock. But none of them objected when, at the height of the Cold War, a monument to 42 POW commanders of the Red Army who were shot in Stalag 326 was demolished.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
