(From age 17 German young men, no matter if they enlist or...)
From age 17 German young men, no matter if they enlist or are conscripted to serve their country, are legally obliged to subject themselves to repeated, humiliating medical examinations carried out mainly by female staff. Military regulations and old perverted habits demand they strip, present testicles, pull foreskin back, turn, bend forward and spread their buttocks for inspection. What once was seen as a suitable induction to Hitler's tyrannical army and conducted by medics of dubious repute has today, 65 years later, been turned into a bizarre manifestation of 'gender equality' at work.... Mental suffering due to these abusive 'health' interventions is widespread throughout the country, but nobody accepts responsibility. Even medical boards are silent and pass the buck. 'So is the law.' 'We just follow orders and regulations.' Last time such excuses were heard on a broader scale was in Nuremberg. MUSTERUNG discloses a huge state-sanctioned, sadomasochistic scandal which until now only has been protected by its status as taboo.

(Over 20,000 deserters and war resisters paid the ultimate...)
Over 20,000 deserters and war resisters paid the ultimate price at the hands of Hitler's brutal war judges and executioners. Several thousands of others died in prison camps and penal battalions, sacrificed as cannon fodder in pointless military operations. Even for those few who miraculously escaped death and survived the war, life was never to be the same again. For the rest of their lives they had to live as pariahs, scorned and looked down upon as traitors to their own Fatherland by a postwar society that professed to hate the regime they had actively opposed. At the time of Chancellor Adenauer's Wirtschaftswunder (economic rebuilding miracle) and well beyond, there was no sympathy for those German men who had refused to be part of the destruction and mass murder of the Second World War. In sharp contrast to these men's fate, their judges, masters of unbelievably draconian sentences, as well as other high-ranking Nazis, were allowed to thrive in postwar Germany as honored men in prestigious and powerful positions. Hitler's Deserters: When Law Merged with Terror is the story of this incredible injustice. It is the disturbing story of what happened to those who refused to fight for the Third Reich, and - even more horrifying - it is the story of a postwar society that turned its back on them.
