[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3853668, member: 45328"] I'm sure that is true. The German POWS that were brought to this country, and Canada, many of whom came back after the war, with the exception of a few RABID Nazis, all couldn't believe how well they were treated, and fed. The Geneva convention required that POW's be fed as well a U.S. Troops. One supposidly said, after growing up in the Hitler youth, then the German Army, that he had to become a POW before he knew what real freedom was! One great story is, a model German POW held in the U.S was being returned to Germany after the war was over. The Geneva Coinvention required POW's not only be returned to their country, but the home region of their country. This POW was from what ended up being in the USSR occupied zone of Germany. After a long time as a model POW he escaped to prevent being shipped to the USSR occupied zone of Germany. This guy spoke good english, changed his name, found a job, got married, had kids, he didn't tell anyone not even his wife about this. In the 1970's/1980's I think, he finally told his wife, and she talked him into turning himself in. As it turned out, even though he was wanted by the FBI, it was ruled that since the war technically over, the only crime he had committed was illegally staying in the US. and he was fined $10.00 or something like that, and I think was made a citizan becaues he married an American. Good ending! [/QUOTE]
