Set in the aftermath of World War II, 1945: The Savage Peace reveals the brutal treatment faced by ethnic Germans in neighboring countries like Czechoslovakia and Poland. As the Nazi regime collapses, long-standing communities are violently uprooted, suffering horrific retribution for the sins of their former oppressors.
