‘Sitting Down Hurts!’ German Female POWs Didn’t Expect This From Canadian Soldiers
This documentary reveals how German female prisoners of war were stunned by the way Canadian soldiers treated them in the final weeks of World War II. From their quiet capture near Germany to their first nights in a temporary holding camp outside Wilhelmshaven, these women expected cruelty—but instead encountered strict discipline, fairness, and unexpected compassion.
German clerks and auxiliary personnel quickly learned that the Canadian Army ran its POW camps by the rules, improving living conditions, providing medical care, and treating prisoners as human beings, not enemies to be punished.
This video explores the German prisoners’ perspective on Canadian captivity, why small acts—like padded benches, extra blankets, and respectful treatment—left such a powerful impression, and how Canada’s conduct in 1945 quietly challenged years of Nazi propaganda about the Allies.
