A German POW in Pennsylvania--At 101, He Tells His Story

During World War II, thousands of German prisoners of war were held in camps across the United States. Among them was Ernie—whose story unfolds not on the battlefield, but in an unexpected place: rural Pennsylvania. Now at 101 years of age, Ernie reflects on his time as a prisoner of war in an American camp, offering a rare and deeply human perspective on a chapter of history many have never considered. His memories challenge assumptions, reveal quiet moments of grace, and shed light on the complex reality of war, captivity, and compassion. Filmed with care and respect, this film is not just about war—it’s about people.
