Make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel as well as check out my entire collection of WW2 documentaries: • WW2 Documentaries During World War II, thousands of German soldiers were captured by American forces and sent to POW camps across the United States. Many of them arrived expecting to see a weak nation living behind propaganda and myths. What they found instead completely changed their understanding of the war. From the battlefields of Normandy to the vast American supply depots and factories that fueled the Allied war effort, German prisoners repeatedly came to the same conclusion: the United States possessed an industrial and logistical power unlike anything they had ever imagined. This documentary explores the experiences of German POWs, the reality they encountered after capture, and the overwhelming scale of American production that convinced many the war could no longer be won.
