Скачать или смотреть Culture Shock of 425,000 German Soldiers: How America Defeated Nazi Ideology Without Guns.

In 1943, hundreds of thousands of German POWs arrived in America fearing brutal retaliation. Instead, they faced a more formidable "enemy": Material abundance, freedom, and humanity.

From Camp Hearn in Texas to massive industrial plants, this video explores how the US conducted history's largest "re-education" campaign. Not through torture or propaganda, but through 3,800-calorie meals, freedom of the press, and bright Christmas trees.

Key moments in this video:

0:00 - First shock at Norfolk: America was not what they were told.

2:23 - The "First Impossibility": POWs receiving better medical care than US troops?

7:00 - Dream life at Camp Hearn: Mattresses, beer, and hot water.

19:43 - Christmas 1943: When enemies became friends.

33:53 - The incredible result: Only 0.01% of prisoners successfully escaped.
