German POWs Saw American Supply Dumps - Then Knew How They'd Lose the War

In the summer of 1944, hundreds of thousands of German soldiers were captured and transported to prisoner of war camps across the United States. What they witnessed there changed everything they believed about the war. This documentary tells the remarkable true story of German POWs who saw American supply dumps stretching to the horizon, ate meals richer than anything they received in the German army, and rode trains through prosperous cities untouched by bombing. Through the firsthand accounts of soldiers like Günter Gräwe, Ernst Floeter, and Hans Waecker, we explore how the simple evidence of American abundance shattered Nazi propaganda and revealed the inevitable outcome of World War 2. From the beaches of Normandy where Allied logistics operations landed over one million troops and five million tons of supplies, to the Red Ball Express truck convoys that kept armies advancing across France, to the 700 POW camps where German prisoners experienced American generosity firsthand, this is the untold story of how enemy soldiers became witnesses to the arsenal of democracy. Featuring verified historical accounts, authentic quotes, and documented statistics from the D-Day invasion, Operation Overlord, and the greatest industrial mobilization in history, this full length WW2 documentary reveals why German commanders like Field Marshal von Rundstedt admitted that American air power, logistics, and production capacity made their defeat inevitable.
