The Moment German POWs Knew The War Was Lost

Описание: They were told America was a "degenerate" nation on the verge of collapse. Then they saw the lights of New York.

During World War II, over 370,000 German soldiers were captured and shipped across the Atlantic to prisoner-of-war camps in the United States. For years, Nazi propaganda had fed them lies: that American cities were bombed out, that the U.S. industry was weak, and that the Atlantic was controlled by U-boats.

But the moment these prisoners stepped onto the deck of a Liberty Ship or looked out the window of a Pullman train crossing the Midwest, their world view shattered.

They didn't see ruins. They saw cities blazing with light while Europe sat in darkness. They saw teenagers driving tractors that did the work of fifty men. They saw a land of infinite food, untouched factories, and endless horizons.

This is the story of how the "Arsenal of Democracy" defeated the Wehrmacht not just with bullets, but with sheer, overwhelming abundance.

In this documentary, you will discover:
The Ocean Crossing: Why the sight of thousands of Allied ships in the Atlantic proved Goebbels was lying.
The City of Lights: The psychological shock of seeing New York City fully lit at night while Germany was in a blackout.
The Endless Horizon: How a train ride across Texas and Kansas convinced German officers that "geography" had defeated them.
The Rations: Why German POWs were eating better than their own generals back home.
The Industrial Might: Witnessing the "wasteful" efficiency of American factories and farms.

For many German soldiers, the war didn't end in Berlin in 1945. It ended the moment they realized they were fighting a nation that had too much of everything.
