My uncle my dad’s twin was a prisoner of war in Germany,their other brother had been killed in France on a bridge. My uncle would only tell him about one thing that happened to him.They put my dad in the Pacific so they couldn’t be captured and torture one to make the other talk. My dad’s company kept in touch and would have army reunions every couple years till they were in their 70’s and 80’s when they couldn’t travel from all their states to meet up anymore. The adults had a good times reminiscing and catching up, us kids also had fun with all the new friends we made.
I'm not a reporter but the interviewer let him loose, talk and choke for an hour and was not prepared to ask key questions that would advance the information. Did he marry? Does he have any family? What did he do throughout his long life?
Americans from the Southern States sound so ignorant... Ay-rabs lol ! My inlaws are from Mississippi/Arkansas and they agree with me. They couldn't wait to leave

The title of the video is misleading: He was not a "German POW", but an American POW in Germany
Right.
Wonderful interview. It may have been prudent to bleep Mr. Pickens' personal information.
Thousands know him. He'll soon be 102 and most people would think he is 65
why would you play 20 min of his story and than start from the first?

Sometimes when the interviewer asks a lot of questions you'll have people raging asking why they won't let him talk
