After nearly 60 years of silence, German women who were allegedly raped by Red Army soldiers during World War II are finally speaking about their traumas.
Some two million women may have been raped by Soviet forces in the last months of the war and according to new research by the military historian Antony Beevor, the Soviet leaders were well aware of what was happening.
Jenni talks to one German woman who fled to Britain in 1949, while Antony Beevor and his German researcher Angelica Von Hase explain how their work has prompted other women to speak out.
