Join German historian Anette Isaacs as she sheds light on a little-known chapter of World War II: the lives of over 400,000 German POWs held in more than 500 camps across the United States. Discover how these captured soldiers from Hitler’s Wehrmacht adjusted to life in places as far-flung as Texas, Iowa, Georgia, and of course Florida. Explore surprising stories of friendship, resistance, and deep ideological divides between pro- and anti-Nazi prisoners. This eye-opening lecture reveals the human side of war in the most unexpected corners of the American home front.
