Wounded German POWs Were Taken to an American Rehabilitation Center— and Broke Down in Tears

In the final winter of World War II, thousands of wounded German soldiers crossed the Atlantic as prisoners of war. They braced for cruelty — and instead found compassion. This documentary brings you inside the real rehabilitation wards of America’s wartime hospitals: places like Valley Forge General Hospital in Pennsylvania and Percy Jones Hospital in Michigan, where captured Nazi soldiers were treated beside the very Americans they once fought. Here, prosthetic limbs were built for enemy hands, and the same medics who had survived the frontlines worked patiently to help their opponents walk again.
