"I Investigated German POWs in Kansas and Found the 'Poison' Breakfast"

In February 1945, five starving German women prisoners of war sat at a Kansas farmhouse table staring at a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and biscuits. They hadn't eaten a real meal in months. But instead of eating, they whispered one terrifying word: "Vergiftet" — poisoned. This is the true story of how a simple breakfast became a psychological battlefield, and how five women had to choose between hunger and survival. 📖 THE STORY: Hilde Ostermann, a 24-year-old German nurse, was captured in France and transported to America as a prisoner of war. Along with four other women, she was assigned to work on a Kansas farm during the final months of WW2. When farmer's wife Martha Brennan served them their first American breakfast, the women were convinced it was poisoned. After years of Nazi propaganda telling them Americans were monsters, this act of kindness felt more dangerous than cruelty. What happened next would change how they saw their enemies, their homeland, and themselves forever. 💭 WHY THIS STORY MATTERS: This isn't just about food.
