This guy is a poet He really puts a picture together (and appreciated by someone who is familiar with old ships) brbrI also have to say there are some beautiful stories in the comments Take some time and read thembrbrWar is horrible But I think it is the responsibility of good people to find some humanity when there seems to be none
Comment from : @xmariner

No social media nor TV, limiting outside radio so people are more isolated than they knew and believed what their leadership told them They had no idea that Hitler didn't have a clue and how England was more than just an Island and America was vast beyond their comprehension

More self righteous rhetoric from people who blindly worshipped a psychopath

My mother grew up in New York city She told me they saw Italian POW's all the time at Coney Island They were having a wonderful time & every one was treated with kindness by the Americans Why does it take a war for us to see & recognise our common humanity?

I had a neighbor who was a German POW during the World War After the war, when he was back in Germany, he married his sweetheart and turned around and settled in the USA So I don't believe he suffered too much, because he chose to come back!

NO MORE BROTHERS WARS
Comment from : @NonPlusUltra1899

I had no idea German POWs were shipped all the way to America What was the rationale for doing this? Was it because it's simply easier to maintain a POW camp away from combat zone?

What a terrible idea I hope this is blocked Most older people usually still use cash I don't like the idea of them tracking every cent and I like being able to help the poor and homeless and kids that do odd jobs to save for college There are many poorer people that don't even have a bank account

rope ladders around the little steamer how dangerous is that? it wouldn't matter whether the ship is marked with a red cross the german uboats will still blow them out of the water
Comment from : @tatyanamelnikoff9578

My Mother used to tell a story about the German POW camp outside her hometown in East Texas She said her aunt and mother used to go out and have picnics to watch the POW's work, claiming, 'These are the SOB's that are getting all of our butter!' ^_ My father, from that same town, told a story about being a boy in his father's very fancy car when a truck full of German POW's turned up and were allowed out for a restroom break They gathered around his father's car to inspect the engine Scared him to death! ^_

I wish there was a little more description prior to watching
Comment from : @curiousme113

After reading the comments I wonder why my grandfather never got any German POWs to work his coal mines in Tennessee when the workers went on strike right in the middle of WWII Maybe because my grandmother was Dutch?
Comment from : @markmccullough5873

Vastly different treatment than the Allied POWs received
Comment from : @jmhoug

That ship was virtually brand new --- launched January, 1943
Comment from : @senior_ranger

"Here the negro is nothing" to quote Private James Pritchard in a letter written from Camp Livingston in Louisiana 1944 White German prisoners were treated better than they were while held captive during the war Letters were written to many including the White House We now that Hitler used American white supremacy as a model for extermination of people of color in Germany Lets not have another Florida type scrubbing of history (Quote from Matthias Reiss is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Exeter, England brPDF)

Hannibal Missouri had a POW camp The camp was placed behind stone walls It had a beautiful stone gate entrance The facility is still there Saw it on a tour of Hannibal After POWs were returned the camp became a ball field It was interesting to see!!
Comment from : @gew9487

Crossville TN had a POW camp There's a small museum that tells the history Local citizens would have a weekly social hour for prisoners Ladies would bake cakes Prisoners were paid to work on local farms Americans treated POWs much more humanly than our enemies treated Allied POWs Many German POWs returned to the US after the War because of the kindness they received while POWs

After reading all of these comments, I realize I have no cool stories to share, so I'll just say I wasn't born yet 🙂

Sit upright and look to the horizon That WILL help with seasickness I taught it to a couple female officers on the USS Trenton, and I'll teach it to anyone who can't hold their water (or coffee) on the rolls of any vessel I'm no super human but I know the rules We live by 'em even when we ain't made 'em ;o)

There was also a Italian POW camp at what is now Warren AFB in Cheyenne There is a carefully tended military cemetary out at the base were Italian POW's who died are buried Each year a representative from the Italian diplomatic service visits these graves to do honors to them Some of them were paroled into the Italian community in Cheyenne,

My mother Maxine Swartz told me that her father and mother hosted German POWs during the war She worked side by side with them on the farm, and one became part of the family to the point that he cried when he found out he had to go back to Germany after the war was over

Comment from : @theywantusdead373

Hard to believe as an American and if our government gets this war we are so desperate to start That this time we will be the enemy of the world that will be extinguished in the end And 80 years in the future someone will be listening to to an American boys story of being transported to a camp in some unknown location

I worked with a German mechanic who was a pow and returned to America, my Dad a GI hird him and they were great people and one great mechanic who taught me so much brI was blessed

Comment from : @fazbell

Millions of German POWs died in the hands of the Russians During and after the war ended You won't hear many stories of the goodwill recieved from the Russians
Comment from : @gchukma

I was born in 1937 I lived with my grandparents on a farm in Tennessee In 1943-44 a former American training camp in Tullahoma Tennessee was converted to a German POW camp Since most able bodied men were in the armed forces, farmers could hire the pow's on a daily basis to help with harvests We used the pow's numerous times and at age 7 I was the water boy I carried the water bucket with one dipper The German word for water was vasser (and since they had been demonized to all children) i was terrified but ran with the bucket when I was called I was of Irish descent and therefore was blond headed and blue eyed The prisoners made a big deal out of my appearance It scared me to death but one of the GI guards spoke German and assured me that they were complimenting my appearance as being like their own They were very kind and always thanked me after I carried the water to them I soon found out that only ordinary people suffer from war The older politicians who start them rarely ever do I am now 86 and a veteran of the USAF 1955-1959

By Uncle was stationed in Germany in 1945, along with my father who was there between 1950-53, both loved the German people and remember how destroyed the Germany cities were and how poor the Germans were
Comment from : @Breas1014

6,000 German POW's were held in my home state of Michigan They worked on farms and cutting trees and were paid for their labor A few stayed and became citizens
Comment from : @gl15col

The complaint about the lack of a Red Cross flag is a petty deception as Hitler had ordered unrestricted warfare on ALL trans Atlantic shipping, thus the need for zig zagging across the Atlantic To say that America had been unaffected by the war is insulting considering the loss of American lives!
Comment from : @cissiepierce664

Wiser heads prevailed, of course, but it would have been justice if Stalin had got his way with the fascist menfolk
Comment from : @uncletiggermclaren7592

This must be another reason why Patton said: We fought the wrong enemy? (He was also referring to the bolshevists)

The irony is they were treated better than black and Hispanic people at that time

This is a well written account of life as a prisoner, and one you don't hear very often The author must have been an educated and observant young man I look forward to hearing the next episode

Comment from : @Gutslinger

My family history might interest someone My grandfather and his brothers all fought for Germany in WW2 I joined the USAF in 1984 and was assigned to an air station in Wiesbaden, 1985 - 1987 I had to learn German to hear all the war stories and family hardships because of WW2 Nobody was pro-Nazi, but all were glad the war was past and they had survived They also cried for the loved ones and friends who were lost in the war Starvation, sickness, and death spares no one during such times My German relatives and their friends loved me as family and never took issue with politics I was born first generation American but will always be German at heart Most Americans will never know the personal horrors of war in their home town or neighborhood as my family had seen😮 Nations may win wars and glory in victory, but people ALWAYS lose in those same wars My family's scars will never be healed nor forgotten
Comment from : @peterbrenner9342

My mother in law was born and raised in Roswell and she told of German pow's that was there and how after the war was over several stayed and married local women and had families there

I feel so bad for people who get sea sick I find the rocking relaxing, but that's because I grew up on the Gulf Coast I do occasionally get car sick though (depending on who's driving), so I know at least something of what it feels like

And now America is imprisoning political dissidents for "speech crimes" and forcing them into solitary confinement

Is this from a book?
Comment from : @besscollins3163

I think Ukraine should send their Russian POW's here They won't want to go back, and even they do, they will not be motivated to fight; and will likely just surrender again I bet even our prisons are better than their average civilian lifestyle
Comment from : @danielduncan6806

They should of surrendered to the Russians
Comment from : @dennismazurek961

Isn't it ironic that Americans treated the German POW's, our enemy better than they treated Americans such as blacks, Asians and Hispanics? Just because the Germans were white So if you think about it, America was fighting a war against a country that had the same ideals Many of the American minorities were bona fide war hero's, yet got treated like dirt when they returned to their country
Comment from : @tamatoa8261

Very good, all stories should be told Tell the one about many German prisoners wanted to come back after the war I saw such a story told and it was also a very good one

Intriguing account- does anyone know what the name of the narrator is ?
Comment from : @jimseviltwin1

I was fascinated by this story However, The lead title of this story is misleading and insulting
Comment from : @chriskenney4377

There was a POW Camp in Fredericksburg TX that housed many German soldiers After the war the Prisoners were given a choice to go home or stay Many stayed and opened up shops and restaurants in the area some still operating to this day The POWs were amazed to find Germans who spoke a Texas dialect of German in the town, and when they asked why a lot of Germans live here? The people replied our ancestors immigrated here over a hundred years ago Much of the Texas hill country and parts of San Antonio are very German Some of the best food and beer ever

He's says Americans won't feel bad because their country wasn't torn up I guess he doesn't think of all the Gold Star families

Comment from : @YouT00ber

You know something is wrong when your country swallows almost the entirety of Europe and your territory is fully connected by land but your soldiers are starving You also have millions and millions of work slaves you are starving to death While your enemy is fighting across the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean after helping supply the resistance for years before entering the war manages to not only give the soldiers enough calories they also get luxuries they opponent hasn't seen in years

You could listen to this while driving in your car but watching it on TV at home I thought this would be like at least a photographic montage of some sort
