Скачать или смотреть Japanese POWs Broke Down After Tasting Hamburgers and Coca-Cola in U.S. Camps

They expected torture. Instead, they were handed hamburgers and Coca-Cola. In 1944, captured Japanese soldiers—trained to die before surrender—found themselves in U.S. POW camps where compassion, not cruelty, awaited them. Behind barbed wire in Texas, Idaho, and Kansas, more than 50,000 Japanese prisoners experienced the full force of America’s industrial abundance—baseball games, music, and the taste of freedom itself. Declassified U.S. Army reports and Red Cross accounts reveal a shocking transformation: battle-hardened men wept at the realization of the enemy’s humanity. This film uncovers the paradox of war—how kindness broke what bullets could not.
