520 _aFrom case cover: The crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi regime are often thought of as the work of the Waffen SS and Gestapo, under the direction of leaders like Himmler, Eichmann and ultimately, Hitler. The "ordinary" German soldier is usually seen as a noble pawn. Until now. In this astonishing, searing and vitally important documentary, Michael Verhoeven, director of the Academy Award nominated film THE NASTY GIRL, unearths the long-buried truth -- while simultaneously showing modern Germany in the throes of an identity crisis. THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER documents Germany's controversial Wehrmacht Exhibition, which for the first time ever revealed the personal letters, photographs and film footage implicating the common foot soldier in horrific acts. While nationalist and far right groups led street protests against 'it', saying the 'evidence' damning their fathers and grandfathers had been falsified, Verhoeven interviewed historians and experts, soldiers and eyewitnesses, and traveled to the killing fields of the Eastern Front. The result is both an invaluable document and a revealing look at an insecure nation, still reconciling its proud history with a unique and horrible wartime legacy.
