In the final months of World War II, teenage German soldiers—captured, exhausted, and far from home—were given an unexpected task inside an American prisoner-of-war camp: build a church with their own hands. What followed defied every expectation of war, captivity, and enemy lines.
This documentary explores a little-known episode of WWII history in which German child soldiers, many barely trained and indoctrinated by the collapsing Nazi regime, found meaning through faith and labor. Under the watch of American guards—and with donated lumber from their captors—the boys constructed a place of worship that became a sanctuary from ideology, hunger, and fear. Set against the broader context of wartime POW camps in the United States, this story reveals moral complexity, quiet acts of humanity, and the fragile boundary between enemy and child.
Neither a tale of propaganda nor sentimentality, this film examines dark history with restraint, empathy, and historical rigor—asking what responsibility remains when war ends, but childhood does not return.
