Welcome to part 2 of ‘World War 2’s Darkest Chapters”. In the aftermath of World War II, the consequences of collaboration and conflict reverberated across nations.

Number 1- In France, while hundreds of thousands joined the Resistance, others sided with the Nazi-controlled government or the German army. After liberation, France witnessed 'the savage purge,' executing approximately 10,000 collaborators, often without due process.

Number 2- The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 killed 80,000 instantly and left 70% of the city destroyed, sparing only a few resilient gingko trees.

Number 3- The Nuremberg trials brought Nazi war criminals to justice, yet some saw them as unfair, with American prosecutor Robert Jackson highlighting Allied violations.

History's complexities remind us that justice, in the aftermath of war, is often as contested as the conflicts themselves. Thank you for joining us on this journey through history. We invite you to subscribe and join us again as we delve deeper into the complexities of our shared past.
