June 1944. Unteroffizier Werner Müller was captured by American forces near Anzio, Italy. Everything he'd been told said he was heading to torture, starvation, and death. His own officers had warned him: surrender to the Americans and you won't survive.
Then the plane landed in America.
What Müller discovered in that Nebraska prison camp would shatter everything the Third Reich had taught him. The food was better than what German soldiers ate. The beds had actual pillows. American families watched soccer matches through the fence. And a farmer named Harold Peterson would change his life forever.
This is the untold story of 370,000 German POWs held in American camps during WWII—men who were treated so well that thousands chose to return to America after the war. This is the story the history books forgot.
