#camp23oswestry #germanpowwomen #ww2history #britishpowcamps #genevaconvention #ww2prisoners November 1944. Four hundred twenty-eight German women auxiliary personnel arrived at Camp 23, Oswestry, Shropshire, expecting British brutality and revenge for the Blitz. Instead, they received something that shattered everything they'd been taught: organized hygiene supplies with German instructions, adequate food, medical care, and basic dignity maintained under Geneva Convention standards. This is the story of how systematic decency became the most devastating weapon against propaganda. These women—signals auxiliaries, cipher clerks, radio operators—had served the Wehrmacht believing in German superiority and British cruelty. But eleven months at Camp 23 would teach them something more powerful than any battlefield lesson: that systems and standards reveal a nation's true character more than its propaganda ever could. This documentary reveals: ✓ How British organization of POW camps followed Geneva Convention standards ✓ Why adequate food and hygiene supplies for enemy prisoners demonstrated true strength ✓ The psychological impact of experiencing civilized treatment from "the enemy" ✓ How propaganda collapsed when confronted with lived reality ✓ The guilt of thriving as prisoners while Germany starved under Allied bombing ✓ Why younger women who'd grown up under Nazi propaganda struggled most ✓ The long-term impact on how these women taught their children about authority ✓ What this reveals about the difference between rhetoric and reality in wartime Based on historical records from British POW camps, Geneva Convention documentation, post-war testimonies, and the experiences of German auxiliary personnel held in Britain during WWII. This is the untold story of November 1944—when organized decency became more devastating than cruelty ever could be, and when sanitary towels with German instructions became the first crack in propaganda's wall. 🔔 Subscribe for untold WW2 stories, the psychology of propaganda, and the moments when reality shattered indoctrination!
