Full Description

German Prisoners of the Second World War in the United States examines the complex lives of German POWs held on American soil during WWII, exploring camp policies, internal conflicts, and their lasting impact on prisoner mental health.

This comprehensive historical analysis reveals the untold story of German POWs through previously unknown archival materials from British, American, Red Cross, and German sources. Readers will discover how problematic camp policies created dangerous conditions, while internal warfare between Nazi minorities and mainstream German soldiers led to violence and murder within the camps. The book examines the British-American partnership that shaped the camp system, explores the psychological trauma experienced by prisoners, and evaluates how Americans attempted to balance security with humane treatment. A compelling comparative analysis contrasts WWII POW care with contemporary treatment of prisoners from the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, offering insights into the evolution of prisoner treatment and raising important questions about future POW policies.

This book will appeal to undergraduate students and readers interested in contemporary American history, World War II studies, and trauma research. It also serves as an excellent resource for courses on wartime history, prisoner treatment, psychological trauma, and military ethics.
