While many German soldiers were initially happy following Germany’s surrender, as their captivity stretched on for many months, they began to suffer from disease and malnutrition. There simply wasn’t enough food in Germany for everyone. However the British realized early on that the POWs needed to be released back into society as quickly as possible to begin planting crops and rebuilding destroyed infrastructure (plus relieve the UK of the burden of provisioning so many POWs). The US held on to our POWs longer due to a lengthy de-Nazification process. This ultimately resulted in more deaths among German POWs due to lack of sufficient food. Not a criticism so much as a correction of the image we Americans have that Germany surrendered and after that, life for Germans rapidly returned to normal. It did not but of course it was Germany’s fault for starting the war in the first place. The destruction of Germany was so complete, that when I did a tour in 79-82, they were just finishing up many of the buildings reconstruction.
Not true history. The war destroyed European agriculture from England to Russia. War itself on the land, conscription, death of young rural males, males and females dragged into war factories, no imports from Argentina, Brazil, US, Canada, even Soviet Russia. Europe was slowly staving by '42. Hitler had to send food to troops in Ukraine, Europe's breadbasket. No horses( requisition), eaten. Starvation, death by late war was strong in occupied Europe. Continued after the war, winter of 45-46. There did not exist anywhere in Europe by 1945 enough food. It did, maybe, in the US/Canada, but there did not exist a operating system to get the food, ship it, unload, and distribute it though the destroyed transportation networks. This did not happen until 46. By and large the vast majority treated German soldiers as they would want to be treated. Most were sick of the war, tired and fed up with our own military, and wanted to go home. Slow, too slow, deNazification, like unconditional surrender was a reaction from the error of leaving WW1 Imperial German military, economic, ideological, industrial individuals in power. This was not to happen again. And unlike Wilhelm era, de Nazification, really power elite destruction, worked. Germans are good people, have a great nation, and nothing to be ashamed of. Just the opposite.
What no film has covered is that many American soldiers were German-American. Many Germans had immigrated to the US less than 100 years before and they kept their pride in their German ancestry. I believe the American occupation of Germany was influenced by the many thousands of German-Americans. They did not look upon the German people as evil, but could see their own faces reflected back at them. This subject has not been properly documented or even examined. My ancestors immigrated from Northern Germany. They saw the evil of the SS and the Nazi party, but they sympathized with the German people and understood why they were desperate after WWI. Some filmmaker should explore and examine this relationship. I fear it is too late though because the soldiers from this war are all nearly deceased. It is a shame that neither German Americans nor Germans examined this dynamic in a documentary.
Americans of German ancestry started turning away from their heritage during WW1. German stopped being taught in schools in heavily German communities for example. There were certainly English and American fascist sympathizers before and even during WWII but German ancestry was not necessarily involved.
My grandfather came from Germany after the first world war. He would not admit his German heritage....he was ashamed. My grandmother got it out of him, but he refused to talk about it anymore. When one of us kids would ask grandpa what nationality is he....he would tell us that he's a Yankee...and that was the end of that conversation. He was so ashamed of his homeland.
Germans used to be the main immigrant group in the US. Thus, they brought the greatest contribution to the development of the US, which means Germans had a major contribution to defeating Hitler :) ruclips.net/video/GlJg2h2NrTM/видео.html
Susanne Buchholz Bei einem Verwandten von mir haben sie die ganze neue Zahnarzt-Einrichtung in Kisten gepackt und in die USA geschickt. Deutschland war damals führend in der Medizin-Technik. Der Eigentümer war als Kriegsgefangener in Sibirien. Seine Frau und seine kleinen Kinder konnten nichts dagegen tun. Meine Großeltern "befreiten" sie vom Familienschmuck. Die Amis haben zahlreiche Frauen vergewaltigt und deutsche Gefangene ermordet. Es gab eine Doku im ZDF und bei 3SAT. Von den dummen Deutschen werden sie heute noch als "Befreier" verehrt.
I visited the Berghof in 1979 with my father, a veteran with 3 purple hearts. He said it made him feel good to see Germans his age missing arms and legs.
@Fabian Kirchgessner Yes, it was a luxury. You should have seen the camps they put for them when they came here to the USA. They were a heck of a lot nicer than what most Americans were living in at the time. They were fed better than what most Americans could afford to buy and eat. They had better job training. They had a sports program....were allowed visitors, etc..... Those German POWs were doing better than most Americans at that time.

granskare Some 3,3 millions were intentionally starved to death, especially those unlucky enough to get caught early during "barbarissa", thousands were shot on the spot, especially political officers, communists and those of hebrew belief. Later the nazis abused them in forced labour- and concentration camps, auschwitz birkenau was build by 10.000 soviet soldiers, when it was finished only some 900 had survived. When the massive german losses drew the "kriegswichtigen" german males to the fronts, soviet prisoners and forced labour slaves from bielo russia and the ukraine worked in nazi germany in the armaments industry where they had at least a greater chance to survive than ever before in the war.
you are right but alas, any of all armies are found unburied. People in Finland and Russia are finding soldiers and identifying them so they can receive proper graves...thanks :)
These Germans didn ´t know, that they were lucky when they were in American Occupation Zone. After 10 years the misery will end and "wirtschaftswunder" and democracy will come.

Germans in American POW camps and interned in America were treated VERY WELL, and were well fed.
A lot of those prisoners were very happy to have survived the war.
Vincent Conti - the ones in the west
And, even happier to be taken prisoner by the allies.
Shure, thats not surprising!
Danke, Christina. Koestlicher Film.
4:02 how careful putting the rifles on top of each other as not to damages them , today thouse rifles are worth thousens and the helmets .
I thought that--reminded me of Doctor Strangelove, ''We'll have NO fighting in the WAR Room'' hilarious.

Quelle belle image ces enfants tout à la fin du film.

A little bit of learning foreign languages could help as well.
