The Unknown Soldier discovers the hidden crimes of the German Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht-Exhibition (exhibition on the history of the armed forces in Nazi Germany), showed in eleven major cities, challenged an established social taboo – the image of the morally proper Wehrmacht was attacked. Michael Verhoeven has traced some of the crimes the Werhmacht is alleged to have committed, presenting unknown unpublished documents. Up to that point, the image of the "morally proper" German forces had been kept up in the public debate in Germany. Suddenly, there were photos of Wehrmacht officers killing civilians. The nation was severely shaken. Any participation of the German forces in Nazi crimes was unbearable to the people in post-war Germany, so it continued to be publically denied.
