They laughed at the food until the plates kept coming.
Captured German POWs arrived in American camps in 1943 expecting hunger and humiliation. Instead, under the Geneva Convention, the U.S. Army issued rations equal to American soldiers: nearly 3,700 calories a day. Steak. Milk. White bread. Many prisoners from the Afrika Korps and Eastern Front had not eaten this well in years.

The laughter faded. The irony endured.
