German POWs Were SHOCKED by America’s Insane Industrial Power – The Untold WWII Stories Americans Rarely Hear

When over 400,000 German prisoners of war arrived in the United States between 1942 and 1945, they expected a weak, decadent nation.
Instead, they saw endless factories running 24/7, rivers of tanks and planes rolling out daily, and farms so huge they couldn’t see the other side. Many wrote in diaries: “If this is America, the war is already lost.”

In this deep-dive documentary we uncover:
• Why German soldiers openly admitted defeat after seeing Detroit’s assembly lines
• How POWs worked on American farms and were stunned by the abundance
• Secret camp reports and declassified interviews never shown on mainstream TV
• The moment a U-boat captain saw the New York skyline and whispered “Unbelievable…”
• How this experience changed thousands of German prisoners forever

This is the side of WWII history most Americans have never been told.
