Barbed wire was meant to break them but in Louisiana, German POW generals felt something closer to disbelief than defeat.
In 1943–45, senior Wehrmacht officers were held at camps like Camp Ruston and Camp Polk, part of a system that confined over 370,000 German POWs in America. Expecting punishment, they found libraries, adequate rations, and strict adherence to the Geneva Convention often more comfort than wartime Germany itself.
Declassified U.S. Army reports and POW diaries describe astonishment at American industrial abundance, from food supplies to infrastructure, revealing why U.S. logistics overwhelmed the Axis.
Their captivity became a lesson in power, not cruelty the quiet shock of losing a war of production.
