I Guarded 10,000 German POWs Watching Them Break Changed Everything I Believed

Описание: "We challenged the greatest industrial power in history with fairy tales about racial destiny. We never had a chance."
Those were the words of a German officer after two years in an American POW camp.
In 1943, Hitler's finest soldiers Rommel's Afrika Korps arrived in America as prisoners. They came believing Nazi propaganda: that America was weak, divided, and collapsing. They came believing they were the Master Race.
Then they saw the truth.
Trains that crossed a country blazing with electricity while Germany hid in darkness. Factories building ships in 4 days. Farms where single machines did the work of 100 men. Prison camps with better food than German generals ate.
This is the story of how American industrial might didn't just defeat Nazi Germany it converted them. Told by Leonard Bishop, the Black soldier who guarded them and watched their ideology collapse, one meal at a time.
What these German POWs wrote in their diaries and letters would shock their commanders. What they learned in America would help rebuild Germany after the war.
The most powerful weapon wasn't bombs or tanks. It was abundance. And it broke them completely.
