In 1945, as the Third Reich collapsed, hundreds of teenage German POWs some as young as 14, pulled from the Hitler Youth were transported to American-run camps in France and the U.S. Many expected interrogation or worse. Declassified U.S. Army Quartermaster reports show they were instead served bacon, eggs, fresh milk, and white bread rations exceeding 3,700 calories a day, nearly double what civilians in Berlin received.
Firsthand accounts recorded by Sgt. Frank S. Richards describe boys freezing mid-bite, convinced the meal was a psychological trap. It wasn’t. Under the Geneva Convention, the American military used food as control and quiet reeducation.
The shock wasn’t the breakfast. It was the mercy.
