Скачать или смотреть German POWs "Mocked" U.S. Guard Dogs — Then the Belgian Malinois Changed Their Tune

German POWs arrived at American camps confident in their military superiority—until they encountered Belgian Malinois war dogs that changed everything they believed about American capability.

Between 1942 and 1945, over 425,000 German prisoners of war were held in American POW camps across the United States. Most had served alongside Wehrmacht military dogs on the Eastern Front and North Africa, and they assumed American K-9 units would be inferior. What they discovered instead was a breed they'd never seen before—Belgian Malinois—trained with methods that produced results far exceeding their expectations. This is the documented story of how German prisoners of war, through encounters with American military working dogs, began to question everything Nazi propaganda had told them about American strength.

This documentary uses only verified sources from the National Archives, War Department records, and official Provost Marshal General reports. Every incident, statistic, and prisoner testimony is historically documented and publicly verifiable. From Camp Ruston in Louisiana to Camp Aliceville in Alabama, discover how a specialized U.S. Army K-9 Corps program became an unexpected symbol of American military excellence that German POWs could not deny.

Learn about the escape attempts that failed, the tracking operations that proved unstoppable, and the psychological transformation documented by Army psychiatrists as German prisoners revised their understanding of American power—one encounter with a Belgian Malinois at a time.
