Скачать или смотреть When German Children POWs Were Served Breakfast — They Thought It Was a Trap

They expected cruelty—or worse—yet what awaited them was a simple breakfast, quietly served in silence.

In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, thousands of German children found themselves captured as prisoners of war, shaped by propaganda and fear into expecting vengeance from their captors. This documentary explores one of the most haunting and morally complex moments of postwar history: the encounter between defeated child soldiers and an enemy who chose restraint over revenge.

Set against the ruins of Europe in 1945, this story reveals how ideology collapses when confronted with human vulnerability. Through survivor accounts, military records, and historical context, we examine how hunger, fear, and kindness intersected in a moment that challenged assumptions about justice, guilt, and mercy. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but of children caught in the machinery of war—and the quiet decisions that reshaped their understanding of humanity.
