With a certain amount of ambiguity, or at least enough to keep the documentary moving, this exploration of one of the last echoes of WW2 acts almost as an epilogue despite covering the WW2 era itself as part of the main story. As to the full extent of the truth about the alleged Ivan, well, it's never likely to be settled to the extent that non-biased viewers on either side of the debate will agree with each other. And, really, laying down the known facts and exploring what can be argued in the various lines of speculation is what most documentaries ought to be doing. There seemed to be certain presumptions of guilt here, but that's the nature of the beast.
I do find it amusing how many user reviews have one or two reviews to their accounts and generally parrot the same basic decidedly minor complaints about cartographical complaints as reasons for 1/10 ratings because their feelings were hurt by a brief couple of minutes in 200+ minutes aired. Seems likely these people mostly got their information from friends and raced here to post terrible reviews without watching. The problem with map labeling, of all things, is so minor that these reviews cannot be trusted. Hating Israel or pretending that people in the region of present-day Poland had no involvement isn't a good reason to get angry at a documentary about a criminal war crimes trial.
