Скачать или смотреть In a U.S. Ward, a German POW Sees the Rules—Then Faces the Hardest Choice of His Life

In the late summer of 1944, with the mud and blood from the Normandy battle still clinging to the stretchers, German radio operator Friedrich was assigned a number and sent to a US prisoner-of-war hospital in England. There were no humiliating rituals here, only rigid rules: roll call, inspections, signatures, and wound dressings; even the guards' hands were bound by the regulations. But behind the curtains, the defiant prisoner Bruno was channeling his resentment into "collective non-cooperation," while the weakest, Otto, was slowly slipping towards collapse amidst coughing and high fever.
When the American sergeant pushed a blank form in front of Friedrich, demanding that he translate the German symptoms into "actionable records," he understood: writing it down would mean handing his comrades' lives over to the enemy's system, and he would be considered a traitor by his own people; not writing it down meant Otto might not survive the night. The rain drummed on the corrugated iron roof as he picked up the pen, making the most difficult choice of his life. #ww2history #historicaldocumentary #ww2storys #germanpow #americanarmy
