Review of The Defeated

The Defeated (2020)

I watched 5 episodes and the series are getting worse and worse.

In real life, Germany was slowly created by USA, and the main symbol was the Berlin airlift of 1949. In this series, Americans are busy hunting and killing unarmed Germans randomly. If America was so bad, why did they stay that long? We see today how an hostile occupation is easily evicted in Afghanistan and Vietnam. The series try to portray US forces as evil, when it was general Curtis Clay who promoted the reunification of the British, American and French sections in order to allow trade and industry to flourish.

I have been in Germany, including Berlin and the place is far from the misery and hopelessness that the series try to portray. And by the way, the whole majority of the population is German, so if the Russians, Americans and the "terrorists" were so busy killing every single German survivor (the entire country was involved in the war), where did the current population came from? How do they explain that?

Because the series distorted the facts. They invented this myth of no survivors, when there a plenty of war veterans who enjoyed peaceful and prosperous lives after the war. By the way, Germany is the richest country in Europe. They are not as poor as the series portray.
