"We're Twin Sisters" — Two POWs German Woman Looked Identical, DNA Test Revealed Separation at Birth

In October 1945, Greta Schmidt and Liesel Hoffman stood in the processing line at Fort Dix, New Jersey—two German nurses captured in France, now prisoners of war in America. When they finally came face to face in a medical examination room, both women froze in shock. They were looking at themselves. Same height, same blonde hair, same blue eyes, even the same small scar above their left eyebrow. Neither knew she had a sister, let alone an identical twin. Born on April 7, 1921, they had been separated at birth by parents too poor to raise two babies in post-World War I Germany, each told they were an only child, and raised in different cities with different lies. It took World War II, capture by American forces, and the unexpected kindness of their captors to bring them together after 24 years of separation. As they pieced together their shared history through letters and medical records, these twin sisters discovered that the enemy treating them with dignity—providing hot showers, abundant food, and medical care under the Geneva Convention—had given them something far more precious than survival: each other. This is the extraordinary true story of how war tore two families apart and paradoxically brought two sisters together, proving that even in humanity's darkest moments, the bonds of blood can transcend decades of lies, separation, and conflict.
