In this documentary the german tv network ARD showed the history
of spanking as matter of education. It depicts the time, when spankings and
beatings with cane, carpet beater or tawse were a completely self evident part
of raising children, both at home and at school, the time when people used to
say " a good spanking never harmed anybody"
It also tells the story of Helga G (born in 1940) who
was beaten by her mother (while neighbours looked away) . She grew up in a
family of Nazi believers and hard spankings were part of her daily life. In a
reconstruction with actors in extremely short flashbacks the documentary also
shows how her uncle, a former SS Officer, had all children wait in line to
spank them over the knee, Helga always
first. She describes, alas it's not shown, that she - contrary to the boys -
was spanked on her bare bottom.
