In the final months of World War II, American soldiers were stunned to discover that many of the enemy troops they were capturing were not hardened veterans — but frightened German child soldiers. These teenage and even preteen members of the Hitler Youth had been sent to the front lines to defend a collapsing Germany, armed with rifles far too heavy for them and dreams shaped by propaganda. When american troops took them prisoner, what followed wasn’t brutality but compassion. Instead of punishment, the young German POWs were given food, medical care, and a sense of safety they hadn’t known in years. This emotional story reveals the humanity that endured even in the darkest days of the war — when American soldiers chose mercy over vengeance. Through rare footage, veteran testimonies, and historical accounts, this documentary explores how the capture and kind treatment of German child soldiers became one of the most moving and overlooked moments of World War 2 history.
