Killed By Their Own: The Story of Nazi POWs in American Camps

Let us know what you think about the episodeDuring WW2, over 400,000 German and Italian POWs were imprisoned in camps around the United States. The ordinary soldiers were thrilled that they had plenty to eat, could play soccer, put on shows, and work on farms. But those who held onto Nazi doctrine would punish their fellow POWs for what they saw as fraternizing with the enemy. In some cases, that punishment included murder. And when the US military convicted the men, it led to a terrifying showdown with the German government, and a death sentence for 15 American POWs. Interview: William GerouxAuthor, The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution & The Forgotten Story of nazi POWs in AmericaMore about the show:🌐 https://thehistoryofmurder.comTeam & ContributorsExecutive Producer- Clare O'Donohue https://clareodonohue.comExecutive Producer - Margaret SmithEditor – Ruben Woolcotthttps://www.rubenwoolcott.com Social Media Manager & Design - Mikayla Bogushttps://mikayladesign.cargo.siteIT Manager - Conor SweeneyThe History of Murder Logo - Bernadette Carrhttps://www.bcarrdesign.comTheme Song “My Carnal Life I Will Lay Down” - Rob Breretonhttps://robertbrereton.com Voice of Guenther Oswald: Michael O'DonohueVoice of Walter Beyer: Alex Zurhellen Voice of Henry Spicer: Joe Janesjoejanes.netVoice of "report": Nick Rowleynjrowley.comThis was truly a team effort, and we’re grateful to everyone who played a part.Help keep us around by …. Buying Merch https://buy.thehistoryofmurder.comJoining Our Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofmurder And Supporting Us Directlyhttps://buymeacoffee.com/thehistoryofmurder
