Hate me all You Like But My God Knows i am telling the Truth



Yes after WW2 the Treasury Introduced Morgenthau Plan which was to eradicate 25 5 of the German people the Morgenthau Plan was later called JCS 1067 to gide it from the allies and in July 1947, JCS 1067 was Cancelled as It Had Never been approved By Congress



September 16, 1944, Roosevelt and Morgenthau persuaded the initially very reluctant British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to agree to the Morganthau plan, likely using a $6 billion Lend Lease agreement to do so. Churchill chose however to narrow the scope of Morgenthau's proposal by drafting a new version of the memorandum, which ended up being the version signed by the two statesmen. The gist of the signed memorandum was "This programme for eliminating the war-making industries in the Ruhr and in the Saar is looking forward to converting Germany into a country primarily agricultural and pastoral in its character."



In 1945 Eisenhower used Morgenthau Plan to set up 200 POW camps along the Rhine where the US Army starved to death 1.7 Million German POWS Eisenhower Got around the Geneva convention By re classifying them as Disarmed Enemy Combatants WIC in itself was Illegal



Eisenhower Ordered all Food left over from american Occupational forces be destroyed and Not allow any food the fall into the hands of German Refuges



the Red cross sent 10 million red cross parcels to the camps Turned Back By eisenhower



a train from Italy containing 100 tons of Food for the Refuges turned Back with the statement we don't need the food we have Plenty



After the Deaths the camps were Destroyed and all evidence removed and Before Eisenhower left for the USA tried to Hide the Evidence By burning all his Files In SHAFE HQ if Frankfurt



But to late as the British were already complaining and they were Banned from the Occupied Rhine



this Link is from an American Soldier who was a Guard

Answer 2

The best movie I have seen about a German POW, (alias Clemens Forrel, his real name was Cornelius Rost) was called "As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me."



I read the book first.



He wasn't in an American camp, he was captured by the Soviets in the Urals. After the war, the Soviets found him guilty of trumped up charges, and sentenced him to 25 years hard labour, which turned out to be a lead mine near the Bering Strait.



The Americans would send back any German who escaped these gulags. So when Rost escaped, he had to head west. It took him three years to reach Iran, and he finally got back to Germany in 1952.

Answer 3

POW-movies are usually cheap hero stories, showing clever POWs fooling stupid guards. These stories are a real genre of its own and not many of them get close to the unheroic truth.

However, there is a strange British movie that was made in the fifties, called "The One That Got Away". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_That_Got_Away_%28film%29

I can tell you about a twenty-year old German POW who got on board of a ship with his bunch in order to take them to a camp in the USA. But it was in May 1945, and in the middle of the ocean there was the news that the war was over, and the ship did simply return. Their guards on board were Blacks, and they told the POWs: "You are treated like second class people, we are third class people." But their guards played football with food cans in order to buckle them, since damaged tins wouldn't be stored any longer, it was allowed to give them to the POWs. One day when he found a tin of apple butter, he imagined some kind of butter mixed with apples and was disappointed when he saw what was really meant with it.

Life in the camps had been different. It was alright in a camp called Saint Lo, but when they were brought to a camp called Bolbec in the winter of 1945 they were welcomed with some kind of running the gauntlet.

Guess who told me these things.

Answer 4

Tens of thousands of German POWs spent much of the war in German prisoner of war camps in the U.S.The prisoners were used on road and building projects and in agricultural settings. The barracks were warm and comfortable in the northern U.S. and cool and comfortable in the southern states. Their meals were better than many Americans who needed food stamps to buy many food products.Many American families near the camps were disturbed because their sons, fathers, brothers, and uncles were dying in Europe while German troops were safe in the U.S. Following the war there were a number of prisoners returned to the states following their repatriation in Germany.

Answer 5

Because while Americans are quite happy to read or hear about mistreatment of U.S. P.O.W.'s, they don't want to know about the mistreatment of Germans in American P.O.W. Camps. There was a British movie called "The One That Got Away" about German P.O.W's.
