German POWs Were Stunned After Seeing America’s Industrial Power During World War II

Описание: During World War II, thousands of captured German soldiers—battle-hardened veterans of the Afrika Korps—arrived in America expecting humiliation and hardship. Instead, what they found shocked them to their core.

This historical documentary explores the astonishing experiences of German POWs who witnessed the vast industrial and agricultural might of the United States firsthand. From the electrified towns of Kansas to the massive shipyards of Baltimore and the endless fields of the Midwest, these men saw a level of abundance and efficiency that defied everything Nazi propaganda had taught them.

Through real diaries, letters, and firsthand accounts, this video reveals how the quiet power of American productivity—and the unexpected decency of its people—dismantled deeply held beliefs and transformed the hearts of captured soldiers.

By the war’s end, many of these men returned to Germany with a new vision of freedom, democracy, and human dignity—lessons learned not on the battlefield, but in captivity.
