Darkest Hour: Allied Film at the End of the Reich I EP 1 | SLICE EXPERTS
In early 1945, U.S. Signal Corps camera crews embedded with Allied troops filmed the final, brutal push into Nazi Germany—liberating villages, seizing the Remagen bridge, and uncovering the horrors of Dachau. This first installment compiles previously unseen 35 mm footage from February to April, juxtaposed with veteran accounts and wartime diaries. Follow the soldiers’ advance from the “Bloody Ruhr” offensive to the historic meeting with Soviet forces at Torgau on the Elbe. Then-and-now cinematographer Jan Kerhart returns to these battlefields to recreate key scenes, offering an unprecedented window into the Third Reich’s collapse.
