If You Asked a German POW What He Missed Most This Was the Answer

In prisoner of war camps across America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, German soldiers sat behind barbed wire, separated from everything they once knew. When asked what they missed most about home, their answers revealed something unexpected about what truly matters to human beings in captivity. This video explores what German POWs said they longed for during their years of imprisonment. It wasn't always what you'd expect. Some spoke of family, of course—wives, children, parents they hadn't seen in years. But others mentioned things that seem small until you lose them: the smell of bread baking, the sound of church bells on Sunday mornings, walking freely down a familiar street. Through letters, diaries, and interviews conducted in POW camps, we discover what occupied the minds of men who didn't know if they'd ever go home. Their answers varied depending on where they were held—camps in America offered relative comfort but profound homesickness, while Soviet camps meant focusing on immediate survival. Yet common threads emerged about memory, longing, and what keeps a person human when everything else is stripped away.
