When Allied forces liberated the Nazi focus camps in 1944-45, their horrible discoveries had been recorded by military and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the primary time the complete horror of what had occurred. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Info’s Sidney Bernstein (later founding father of Granada Tv) aimed to create a documentary that would offer lasting, simple proof of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British expertise, together with editor Stewart McAllister, author and future cupboard minister Richard Crossman – and, as remedy advisor, his buddy Alfred Hitchcock. But, regardless of preliminary help from the British and US Governments, the movie was shelved, and solely now, 70 years on, has it been restored and accomplished by Imperial Conflict Museums below its authentic title "German Focus Camps Factual Survey".
