German POWs Laughed at America—Until They Saw the Prison Camps

They laughed when they crossed the Atlantic confident veterans of the German army certain America was soft, untested, and unready for real war. What they found behind barbed wire told a different story. By 1943, over 370,000 German POWs were held in American military camps stretching from Texas to Ohio, guarded by the same nation producing 96,000 aircraft, 49,000 tanks, and 2.4 million trucks in a single year. Declassified War Department reports and POW diaries describe heated barracks, full meals, libraries, and shock at U.S. industrial scale. One prisoner admitted, “We understood then we could not win.” This is the hidden WWII front where laughter turned to disbelief.
