Land of Mine — Denmark
After Germany's surrender, young German POWs — many still teenagers — are forced to clear the 2.2 million mines buried in Denmark's beaches.
Denmark's post-war mine clearance by German POWs is one of the most morally controversial Allied decisions of the war's aftermath. The Geneva Convention prohibited using prisoners to clear mines; Denmark and Britain proceeded anyway. Of the 2,600 Germans who cleared mines, nearly half were killed or wounded. The youngest were 15 years old.
