“Too Much Salt” – German Women POWs Shocked by Their First Taste of American Corned Beef

Описание: “Too Much Salt” – German Women POWs Shocked by Their First Taste of American Corned Beef

What happens when German women POWs, raised on smoked sausages and dark bread, are handed steaming plates of American corned beef in a dusty U.S. POW camp?
This World War 2 story follows a group of female prisoners who expected beatings, starvation, and revenge from American soldiers – and instead found hot food, strange flavors, and a kind of unexpected wartime humanity.

In this WWII documentary‑style video, we dive into the real life of German prisoners inside U.S. POW camps. Using WWII archives and historical facts, we rebuild the moment these women took their first bite of corned beef, called it “almost pure salt,” and slowly began to see their enemies in a new way. This is not just about rations. It is about fear, propaganda, and how a single meal can change a mind.

You’ll see:

What daily life and food were like for German women POWs in American camps
How U.S. military rations worked and why corned beef was everywhere
The clash between German and American food cultures in WWII
Human stories WWII often forgets: female POWs and their emotions

If you enjoy WWII history, military history, and true war stories that feel human and real, this video is for you. We keep the focus on people, not just battles—turning dry history into vivid war stories and shocking history moments.
