So many of the first great wave of prisoners were proud Wehrmacht soldiers of Rommel and many even disliked Hitler

Mein Opa war im Camp Ogden als Kriegsgefangener Ihm hatte es dort gut gefallen 1947 kam er wieder zurück nach Deutschland Unterlagen in Englischer Sprache über den Aufenthalt im Camp fand ich in einer Schachtel auf dem Dachboden Der Bericht stimmt, sie hatten es dort gut im Lager denn mein Opa erzählte mir darüber

Pows were not required to work They were paid if they worked About 80 cents a day which they were paid in script They could spend it at the camp canteen

I never even knew there were pow camps in Utah until I was reading a random article online, and that lead me here Very interesting topic I'm honestly glad we treated them well Kill em with kindness It's better making friends than making more enemies

Bravo! Thanks for sharing and reminding us that we are all human, regardless of our roots!

Why a so called historian would use and claim we are a "DEMOCRACY" is proof our education system stinks, the constitution i read and studied in school back in the 60's is clearly a "REPUBLICAN" form of government

The kindness of America probably did more to change these men’s political ideas than any deprogramming

Most states had several camps - I grew up with kids whose fathers were In these camps and moved here

The German prisoners of war were not all that different because both the Americans and the Germans were originally Europeans with the same religion and similar cultures I understand why they were fighting each other, but it was nonetheless a tragedy that they were fighting each other in the first place Both WWI and WWII devastated Europe and now we see the result, an example being the flood of migrants into Europe who have NOTHING in common with European culture

Great documentary brEvery one should watch and hear about thisbrThe reason i say is because brWhen people hear and think about nazi war soldiersbrThey automatically think evilbrBut the truth of the matter is brThat many of them brWasn't evilbrThey served theirbrCountry and thought itbrWas the right thing to dobrAnd some of them didn'tbrWant to serve and didn't agree with the warbrBut they really didn't have a choicebrIf they didn't serve when call uponbr There was a pretty high chance them of being executed

A German pilot flying on the Eastern front, wrote that their greatest fear is being shot down behind Russian lines There was no such worry about being shot down over British or American lines, because if they survived the crash was a good chance they'd be well fed in a comfortable prisoner of war camp in the USbrI have read that German prisoners in Britain were better off than British civilians because the Geneva Convention specified what rations they should receive This was unlike British civilians who had to share whatever was availablebrPeople in the US would be surprised to know that rationing of some foods, particularly beef, continued in Britain until 1953

No! they were not POWs They were angels from Nazi Germany Real evil were those US WW2 veterans that were killed by Klan in Mississippi- (Sarcasm) Centuries of slave labor has no value when compared to few days of field labor by Nazi prisoners of war

Just read that Italian pows were interned in Ogden too And all these people in your video doesn't look German at all They clearly look Italian and I am pretty sure they are
