“Close Your Eyes and Don’t Scream” — German Women POWs Braced Themselves as U.S. Doctors Entered

“Close Your Eyes and Don’t Scream” — German Women POWs Braced Themselves as U.S. Doctors Entered
March 1945. German Women POWs at Camp Clinton, Mississippi were told to "close your eyes and don't scream" before entering the medical building. They expected torture and experiments, just as Nazi propaganda had warned. Instead, American doctors gave them antibiotics, treated their infections, and served them bacon and eggs for breakfast. This is the incredible true story of how sixty German Women POWs discovered that their enemies showed them more mercy than their own country ever did. What happened next would transform these women forever and teach them that the greatest weapon in war is not cruelty, but kindness. Watch until the end to discover how one nurse carried these lessons back to a devastated Germany and changed an entire generation's understanding of what it means to heal.
