In November 2001, as the world still reeled from the attack on the Twin Towers, German historian Sönke Neitzel discovered an extraordinary cache of documents from the Second World War. The documents were the transcripts of German prisoners of war talking among themselves in prisoner of war camps, and secretly recorded by the allies. In these apparently private conversations the soldiers talked freely and openly about their hopes and fears, their concerns and their day-to-day lives. With the casualness and is which to the modern reader can appear shocking they also talked about the horrors of war – about rape, death and killing."
