The Nazis called them Kriegsgefangen, a term that the prisoners of war shortened to “Kriegie.” The nickname hid the reality for the nearly seven million POWs who were placed in the German camps during World War II. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject

Notes

- "They fought on the beaches of Normandy and in the Forest of Ardennes. They parachuted from burning planes and slogged past corpses half-buried in mud. But they came to find their greatest battle to be fought behind stone walls and barbed wire fences. Their fiercest enemies were sickness, starvation, and loss of will." "Prisoners of the Germans, these American soldiers spent the last months of World War II in crowded, filthy, unheated barracks, wracked by disease, given a daily ration of one bowl of thin soup and one hunk of bread. What they suffered and how they survived they relate to the reader in honest and moving narratives."–BOOK JACKET
