Скачать или смотреть German POWs Saw American Factories Running Day And Night - They Knew It Was Over

In nineteen forty three, German soldiers from Rommel's Afrika Korps were captured and transported across the Atlantic to prisoner of war camps scattered across America. What they witnessed on their journey would shatter everything Nazi propaganda had taught them about the United States. As trains carried them through Virginia, Kentucky, and beyond, these prisoners pressed their faces against windows and saw a nation untouched by bombs, with automobiles on every road, electricity in every farmhouse, and factories running around the clock. This is the incredible true story of how nearly four hundred thousand German prisoners of war experienced the overwhelming industrial power of America firsthand. From the luxurious conditions at camps like Concordia and Aliceville, where prisoners gained weight and attended university courses, to the dark violence of internal conflicts among prisoners, this documentary reveals how the lived experience of American abundance transformed enemy soldiers into witnesses of a truth their leaders had hidden from them. Featuring real accounts from prisoners like Reinhold Pabel, Heino Erichsen, Georg Gartner, and Gunter Grawe, this video explores how Germany lost the Second World War twice, first on the battlefield and then in the minds of soldiers who saw American power with their own eyes. A fascinating chapter of world war two history that deserves to be remembered.
