It
begins in muddied black and white, no voices over until about two
minutes into the film. At first it may seem a bit unclear what is
happening. But soon, with the first interview of a British officer, it
becomes all too apparent—too graphic, too unsettling, too horrific for
our minds so accustomed to the cushy prosperity and relative peace of
contemporary America to fully grasp. And it is only the beginning. The
online Youtube is titled “Forgotten History of World War II: Operation
Keelhaul,” although the initial title in the film reads “Orders from
Above.”
At the end of it we find in the credits
that it was originally produced with much research by the BBC in 1975.
To my knowledge it has never been screened on American television, never
released in a VHS or DVD format of any kind. But it cries out, with the
voices of millions of men, women and children cruelly and barbarously
murdered, for acknowledgement…and for justice, even if seventy-five
years too late.
It left a profound impression on me, as I think it will on you as you watch it.
