They Were Paid in America — German POWs Thought It Was a Trick!

Описание: They were captured, transported across the ocean, and prepared for punishment — but nothing prepared them for what happened instead.

In American prisoner-of-war camps during World War II, German POWs were not beaten, starved, or silenced.
They were organized, given work, and quietly paid for it.

This WWII documentary-style story explores the psychological shock German prisoners experienced when captivity did not follow the rules they had been taught to fear. Through daily routines, labor, payment, and the absence of punishment, this episode reveals how an unexpected system of control left many prisoners deeply unsettled.

Why this WW2 story matters:
This story uncovers how captivity in America challenged everything German POWs believed about enemies, authority, and survival — proving that quiet systems can reshape people more effectively than fear alone.
