Some of the people documented in the series:

  • Rose Gowlland – A British child who was a year old when the war broke out.
  • Gaston Sirec – A French truck driver who was imprisoned in a stalag when the Germans defeated France.
  • Lt. August Graf Kageneck – A German Tank commander who personifies a typical Wehrmacht soldier as he writes in his journal or to his mother.
  • While a lot of males are mentioned in this documentary series, cell block guards and nurses who were female also contributed to WWII. A novel by Elizabeth Wein displays some of this torment done in women concentration camps.
