About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of fighting in Europe, focusing on the plight of displaced people and the challenges faced by those unable to return home.

The fighting has ended in Europe—but with millions of displaced people surging in all directions across Europe, it cannot be called peace. While millions of POWs look forward to going home, forced labourers and people of eastern Europe know they have no home to return to. And try to escape the communist yoke. Hosted on Ausha.
