麻豆约拍

Anns na c貌ig bliadhna eadar deireadh an D脿rna Cogaidh agus toiseach a' Chogaidh Fhuair bha an saoghal l脿n d貌chais gum biodh s矛th mhaireannach aca, ach an 脿ite sin, b' ann faisg air m貌r sgrios eile a bha a' ch霉is. A dh' aindeoin 's gun deach l脿mh an uachdair fhaighinn air na Gearmailtich cha robh sin a' ciallachadh gu robh an 脿m ri teachd gu bhith math.

Dh' fheumte an Roinn E貌rpa a thogail 脿s 霉r as d猫idh am milleadh a dh' fh脿g an cogadh agus aig an aon 脿m beatha 霉r a dhealbhachadh. Bha na milleanan de dhaoine, a bha air am fuadachadh, air an cuir sa phr矛osan agus air an cleachdadh nan tr脿illean, a' feitheamh m矛osan airson faighinn dhachaigh agus airson cuid aca, bha seo na bu mhiosa nan cogadh fh猫in. Tha na pr貌graman seo a' cleachdadh tasglann bhon Rhuis, Breatainn, a' Ghearmailt, an Fhraing, Canada agus Ameireaga, 矛omhaighean a tha a' toirt sealladh dhuinn air na daoine a bha an s脿s anns na h-amannan as d猫idh a' chogaidh.

In the five years that separated the end of the Second World War from the start of the Cold War, the world had hoped for a lasting peace, but instead found itself on the brink of apocalypse. The defeat of Nazi Germany did not mean a rosy future lay ahead.

A shattered Europe had to rebuild, heal its wounds, and deal with the fall-out from a barbarous conflict, whilst sketching the outlines of its future. Millions of men and women who had been deported, interned, or subjected to forced labour, waited for months to return to their homelands and for many civilians, the aftermath of the war was even more brutal than the conflict itself.

These programmes compile unseen Russian, British, German, French, Canadian and American archives and unique images of daily life of the people that were caught up in this aftermath.
