Episode 32: Prisoners of War in East Europe

from WW2: Both Sides of The Wire · host Prof. Matthias Strohn & Jesse Alexander

In today’s episode, we’re going behind the lines to consider the oft-overlooked fates of the millions of soldiers on the Eastern Front who fell into enemy hands and became prisoners of war. Millions were killed or died in camps from Germany to Siberia, and many did not make it home until the 1950s. This is their story. Join our community!
