Fun fact. Wojtek the bear name was the diminutive of the Slavic name "Wojciech" which is formed from two components: - "Voj", pertaining to war. -"Ciech", meaning "joy" Combination basically means "he who enjoys war" or "joyous warrior". Pretty fitting for the war bear imo.
0:46 My grandfather had a friend who went to the US as a German PoW. He had to work on a farm. A few year later, when he was free to leave again, the owner of the farm asked him to stay and be his foreman. But he had a family back in Germany, so he declined the offer. The farm's owner asked him if he had any friends in Germany that would want the job and be qualified for it. His impression of German workers was really good so he was keen on getting a German foreman.
@Hannibal Lupus The fact that you view people with generically conservative views, which were basically all the mainstream belief in Europe and America 20 to 30 years ago, as so wholly evil as to be considered "outright fascist" (and thus justified to use violence against if they truly are fascist), is absurd and dangerous. Please try listening and understanding where people you disagree with are coming from, rather than looking down on them in disgust, or, you know, just interact with them at all to begin with, when you so clearly don't actually know what those people are like. As of ten or so years ago, the percentage of people who viewed violence as justified against the other side of the political aisle was around 10 percent. As of around a year ago it was in the upper 30's for both sides. We need that number to go down, not up.
Fun fact: there are old standing rune stones across Sweden and in Norway speaking of a saga in which Christians and old-faith Norsemen sailed south to the Caucuses to reopen the old trade routes. Though the saga is rather fantastical in its elements, it has been a personal obsession of mine. Look it up sometime. It is known as Ingvar’s saga, named after the adventurer who headed the expedition.

Having prisoners of war do work counts as slave labor and is forbidden. But if they can volunteer to work and get paid for it, it's fine. They can buy themselves treats that aren't given out by the prison for free, and when you're stuck in a prison camp for three or four years, you eventually really get to appreciate being able to do ordinary work again.
