Germany after the World War II. A country is in a state of emergency. Characterized by hunger and hardship, crime becomes worse and more brutal.
In 1945, the Soviet Union occupied East Germany and divided Berlin into four sectors. Thousands of Berliners ventured into the countryside to find food, but a serial killer in the surrounding forests threatened their safety. In the city, the Gladow gang played a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the police.
But the peak of the crime occurred in Dresden, where one of the most brutal criminal cases of the post-war period caused horror and raised the question of a cannibal.
The documentary sheds light on how people act in extreme situations and how the war influenced attitudes towards law and morality. Overall, it shows how dangerous everyday life was in the Soviet occupation zone and in Berlin after 1945, and explains why survivors of the war resorted to extreme measures.
The documentary Crime in Post-War Germany shows how strained life was between 1945 and 1949 in the four occupied zones. Using the example of individual, particularly serious criminal cases, like in Dresden where a wood collector comes across the severed legs of a person or in Hamburg, where the so-called rubble murders terrify the whole city.
Criminal psychologists and forensic experts set out to search for clues and analyze the brutal crimes. Historians and witnesses describe the state of emergency of the late 1940s which ended with the founding of two German states.
