Why German POWs Refused to Go Back After WWII Ended

When World War II ended, thousands of German prisoners of war were held in Canada. Most people assumed they would return home right away. Instead, many refused to leave. After years in camps, they had found steady food, fair treatment, and safety from the chaos in Europe. For some, going back meant hunger, ruined cities, or fear of what waited there.

This video explains why so many German POWs chose to stay. It looks at camp life in Canada, work programs, and how local communities treated them. It also shows how a wartime decision slowly turned into a new life for thousands who never expected to remain in North America.
