Note: Images of the Rheinwiesenlager. The Rheinwiesenlager (Rhine meadow camps) were a group of 19 camps built in the Allied-occupied part of Germany by the U.S. Army. This camp may be part of the Rheinwiesenlager camp built at Koblenz (Coblenz), Germany. The official name of these camps were Prisoner of War Temporary Enclosures (PWTE). The prisoners held in these camps were designated “Disarmed Enemy Forces (DEF) not POWs because of the logistical problems adhering to the Geneva Convention.
Due to the numbers of prisoners, the Americans transferred internal control of the camps to the Germans. Former German troops from the Wehrmacht's Feldgendarmerie (Military Police) and Feldjagerkorps (Military Police) known as Wehrmachtordnungstruppe (Armed Forces Order Troops) maintained order in the camps.

Over a million brutalised and starved. Par for the course with these ‘victors’ don’t you think?
Allied liberators ? did they stand trial as well in Nuernberg for crime against humanity, ? letting children, wounded, women and elderly starve and die of thirst in those Rhine meadow cages was and will always remain what it is: crime against humanity. Even today it is still forbidden to look for historical remainder in the soil of those so called cages. Here in Sinzig (between Bonn and Koblenz), the Police will turn up when you look with a metal detector or just dig where the locals indicated the cages had been...and will fine you.
The German officers or generals had a better life even in these camps than the normal soldiers or the children soldiers. Even women were arrested separately in tents. The normal soldiers lived there like the rats. Without wood houses or tents, directly on the ground with all weather conditions, food, clean water and medical help. They were persons without any rights and again the Convention by red cross international. My father was in the Rheinwiesenlager Sinzig near Koblenz which is shown in the film. He was 18th and still a schoolboy. Arrested in 18.06.1945 he got his certificate of discharge from this camp in 24.06.1945. He never forgot the experience and terrible situations in this prisoner camp. My father was not a Nazi or SS-soldier, only a German soldier in an bataillion of the Wehrmacht. After war he studied and became an architect near Heidelberg/Germany. He died in October 2018.
God bless your father sir
"My Father was a only Wehrmacht soldier ."???
Do you imagine how many Polish civilians people was executed by Wehrmacht? No, not Nazi , just Wehrmacht formation killing Polish kids women old people with cold blood. Warsaw Posnan Cracov Torun and many other Polish towns and villages. you don't even imagine what Wehrmacht did before they killed the Polish women including under age girls. Shame on you and respect.
It's not Nazi invasion my country 1/09/1939
but 6 millions regular German soldiers mostly Wehrmacht.
You comment make me sick. Shame on you
end start lerning true History.
@@slawomirzgrabczynski1937 Too bad comments like this get posted very often. Poor nazis and wehrmacht soldiers. What about millions of civilian casualties without even considering those perished in the cocncentration camps. I am from a former yugoslavia country and I know very well what you are speaking of. Shame on them.
Only wehrmacht
For you to know, wehrmacht soldiers also killed and humiliated soviet citizens
@@okramra Such a great comment. The Nazis not only murdered the Jews of every country that they invaded but they also rounded up and executed anyone who was opposed to the Third Reich; like teachers, lawyers, politicians, etc.
And this was just a tiny fraction of the masses of POW that went into captivity. Over a million missing, many of which died in Soviet prison camps that more than 20 times the size of the crowd we see on the video. The sacrifice of human life is beyond anything we have experience in human history and it was made possible by a small group of people.
The Russians lost 26 million souls fighting the Nazi ……..we forget that .
35million missing or 45 million unaccounted all troops and civilians all countries
well. Good. They were fascists
Причина не в группе людей, а в сознании всех людей, ведь группа действовала с согласия людей.
It was made possible by an entire population willing to look away from the atrocities.
Were conditions great? No. I am American. It is easy to blame us & the other Allied powers. Conditions were absolutely horrible all over Europe at the time. Whole armies surrendered( hundreds of thousands soldiers not individual small groups). Millions of refugees from Eastern Europe poured west. Millions of refugees from Europe were homeless & on the move. Displaced people & forced slave laborers were set free from interment camps with no where to go( by the thousands). Everywhere transportation had broken done, supply chains broken, food distribution very poor, housing virtually non existent, heat sources gone, manufacturing, non existence, farming annihilated. I am sorry but POWs were at the bottom of the food chain. German officiers were put in charge of the camps, overall administration by the Allies..German field kitchens cooked & distributed the food. Most of the POWS were repatriated by the end of summer. American & Britain shouldered the biggest share of recovering Europe from the war. Britain never went off rationing for her own people until the mid 1950's!! These two countries shouldered the task of feeding, clothing, housing the civilians of Eastern & Western Europe for years!! So, excuse me but, dammit, when all it said & done, these guys May not have had it any worse than a whole lot of civilians, especially the millions of women & kids left to fend for themselves berif of food, clothing & housing. Cry me a river.
During the war they kept German prisoners' in a camp near me in Iowa. They built some beautiful nativity scenes are that are still used to this day.
Too many kids and young faces. War is terrible. No matter what side. I hope the world doesn't have to go through something as disastrous as world war 2 again.
Young kids ? Bloody Hitler youth more like, fanatics, more dangerous than the ss,
Anyone who says they deserved it is wrong.did Americans think trump would be great?Yes,he just didnt make the people commit crimes against humanity. I dont think alot of germans thought he would have brought destruction. And I dont think you have a choice against conscription.

These camps are temporary camps which were built AFTER conflict had ended. At the time were all around Germany. The German soldiers and airmen would be disarmed and medically treated where necessary.

Proof
The fact that your pfp is a nazi, that explains it
The end of the myth of the Master Race. I met a couple of Germans who had served in the Wehrmacht in WWII when I was in the USAF in 1979. One had been pro-nazi and the other had not. The pro-nazis family had been wiped out in Allied air raids. The non-political soldier’s family had become communists in East Germany after the war. Both stayed in the US after being released and never went back to Germany. I knew their daughters, who had never known anything about their fathers service in the German army. Both men had been carpenters before the war, met in prison camp where they helped build the barracks at Ft Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. They both worked for ex-GI’s who started a construction company after coming home. Their American ex-enemies had taught them English and helped them study for their citizenship test because both were good workers and had led quiet, hardworking lives. The one who had been pro-nazi had been badly beaten by other German prisoners when he said he had been wrong to support Hitler. When I see this video I can see men that were just like the men I became friends with 35 years later.
Когда человек один он человек, но в сообществе он превращается в барана, это происходит во всём мире к сожалению.
I knew a man who was in those camps, in the Rhine Meadows camps. He was drafted shortly before the end of the war, sent to France and captured near Düren.
This man was deprived of all his personal belongings by the US guards. Cooking utensils, tent train, clothes, watch and everything that could/would be taken home as a souvenir . He never spoke of the US soldiers with hatred, there was more resignation in his words, he told only once of the captivity, of the hunger, the dead that no one could carry away and a US soldier who was yelled at because he gave food to the prisoners.
When he came out of captivity he was a broken man, sick in body and soul. This man was my grandfather, whom I loved more than anything, from whom I learned my profession as a district forester.

My grandfather was captured by the Americans in Africa and shipped to America. He was in the Luftwaffe and I think he and his comrades fared better there. Greetings from Germany
To let people t the fields ou facing the cold the rain the wind and even the sun without any protection is a war crime!!! No matter what side you are! I am Greek we fought against Italians and Germans and we had suffered many war crimes from Bulgarians as well - they were allies at that time but I feel sorry for people who found themselves on the loosing side!..
Of course, but these were temporary camps and not concentration camps. People had to be placed somewhere and quickly. The Americans did the best they could.
Agreed Teo! Read, "Other Losses" by James Bacque or watch his video here on UA-cam
A million dead in the allied Rhine meadow camps - this number is often doubted by some media and by our opponents. James Bacque (University of Toronto studied history and philosophy, editor of several Canadian magazines) has presented evidence for the number of one million in the following book:
James Bacque
Planned death: German prisoners of war in American and French camps 1945-1946
480 pages, publisher: Ullstein Taschenbuch, ISBN: 978-3548331638
From the book descriptions:
In 1945/46, the US armed forces camouflaged the mass deaths of German prisoners of war in American camps on German soil under the belittling name of “Other Losses”. The Canadian historian James Bacque was deeply shaken when he first learned of this war crime. The pathological German hater General Dwight David Eisenhower had purposefully carried out this mass murder and systematically covered it up. It was only Bacque's research that brought to light the full extent - almost 1 million German soldiers killed in American and French captivity. Around 2,000 survivors of the Allied hunger camps turned to the author and publisher after the first edition of this book appeared. Their new, sensational hints flowed into the present new edition of this bestseller.
This book was a sensation. After thorough research, James Bacque was able to prove that almost 1 million Germans perished in the American and French prisoner-of-war camps. But not just the number of victims, but the fact that u. a. a deliberate policy for which General Eisenhower was responsible for the deaths was staggering. The files that testify to this scandal have been destroyed, falsified or kept under lock and key as "secret". The beginning of the Cold War and the new alliance between the Federal Republic of Germany and the USA and France made it seem inopportune to touch this matter. Bacque has put together the pieces of the mosaic of this harrowing portrait in painstaking detail. Far from digging in old wounds or wanting to open new rifts, he is only concerned with helping historical truth to be justified. This revised 9th edition again contains new material that emerged, among other things, after the opening of the Soviet archives.
In an interview with the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit on June 4, 2004, the author Bacque comments on the Rhine meadow camps and the related extermination policy of the Allies against Germans. Here is an excerpt:
Bacque: The questionability of the thesis of the “liberation” of Germany becomes even clearer when one considers that the Americans, the French, the Soviets and, to a lesser extent, the British have triggered a famine that killed millions of Germans.
Millions?
Bacque: Millions.
Official historians are unclear about the number of dead, but consider your information to be far too exaggerated.
Bacque: No historian has ever doubted that over 1.5 million Germans perished in Allied captivity after 1945. The discussion simply revolved around who had caused her death. The “court historians” on both sides blamed each other during the decades of the Cold War. After studying the files in East and West, I come to the conclusion that there were about a million dead German prisoners of war in the West and - it may surprise you - there were half a million in the East. The same sources, including Western Allies and Germans, show that far more Germans perished between 1945 and 1950 than the European average of twelve per thousand at the time. In fact, that increased death rate runs into the millions. This fact has never been officially established. That's why I have court historians on my neck today. In doing so, they should rather concentrate on the files.
The mass extinction in Germany is usually explained by the inability of the Allies, for example to adequately care for the many German soldiers in the so-called Rhine meadow camps. What evidence do you have for the thesis that these are targeted measures?
Bacque: Back then there weren't just the notorious Rhine meadow camps - all of Germany was like a prison camp. My research has shown that food depots were not opened to the prisoners at the time - on instructions. Survivors also reported that the thirst was raging - for example, the Rhine was only 200 meters away from the Rhine meadow camps! In addition, existing tent depots of the Wehrmacht and the US Army were not released. Even the wounded and sick lay in the open air in the mud - exposed to rain, cold and wind without protection. In some cases, the prisoners were even forbidden to dig themselves “shelters” such as holes in the ground. Furthermore, there was no medical care and the rules of the Geneva Convention were trampled. These were more extermination than prisoner of war camps.
As far as you know, all of this happened on the initiative of the US Forces Commander in Chief, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Why?
Bacque: Out of a primitive hatred of the Germans, as we know President Roosevelt harbored. It is not only the systematic approach of the Allies and the extent of the death that is frightening, but also that there were regular bestialities against prisoners.
Reports speak of torture that dwarfs everything we know from the US prison in Abu Gharib in Baghdad. For example, beating with iron bars, breaking bones, squeezing the testicles, mock executions, strangulation to the point of fainting, hypothermia in isolation cells, locking in heat chambers at 80 degrees Celsius.
Bacque: I can only confirm incidents such as arbitrary shooting into the camp by the guards, arbitrary beating of prisoners with clubs with severe injuries as a result, or bulldozers rolling over sleeping prisoners at night, either crushing them or burying them alive in their holes in the ground. And all of this without prosecuting the guilty.
When your book appeared in Germany in 1989, it suddenly became a bestseller. The professional world remained reserved.
Bacque: The flood of letters to the editor was amazing. Thousands of Germans wrote: “Yes, it was like that!” Before that there was a book by Paul Carell and Günter Bödecker about it, “The Prisoners”, but it never became relevant to my book. Indeed, as great as the audience's success was, as great were the reservations and even the rejection that the book met with from many journalists, the federal government and almost the entire German professional community.
Why?
Bacque: I suspect two reasons. The first is a psychological one: people don't like hearing bad news about themselves. The defeat and the immediate post-war period was a time of humiliation for Germany - not a moment in the history of the fatherland with which one would like to identify. You keep a distance. The second reason is that from the 1950s the Western Allies began to be seen as the protective power against communism, and consequently everything “ugly” was faded out - in fact, they even began to be idealized as “liberators” and “bringer of democracy”. In the minds of many Germans, the British were soon only noble and Americans good-natured, all with a keen sense of justice.
What do you see as the cause of this change?
Bacque: A Successful Re-education of the Younger Generation.
Are you talking about the so-called “re-education”?
Bacque: Yes, a system of propaganda lies: the vanquished takes over the history of the victor. During my visits to Germany I have found time and again that there was a rift through almost every family here. A rift between the generation of experience and those born after.
In what way?
Bacque: The older Germans still remembered what they had actually experienced. But when they told the younger ones, they asked them to remain silent. At a reading in Canada in 1989, I saw a German woman of about thirty come up to me after the event and hug me crying because I - as she said - "had changed her life". Why? Because my book showed her that her father had told the truth after all. The only sad thing about the story is that the father had died in the meantime. So he never found out during his lifetime that his daughter was still inwardly reconciled with him. Such things have happened to me again and again and I think hundreds of thousands of times in Germany. Ultimately, this silencing of the historical truth of the generation of experiences in Germany also prevailed in public. Newspapers and book publishers that still had a historical rather than a moral view of things were increasingly defamed as “right-wing extremists”.

This is Eisenhowers Rheine Meadows infamous prison camp for German POW's.

@@PUAlum These German soldiers were not called POWs by the Americans so they didn't have to be treated as such according to the Geneva Convention..... So they were kept into barb wired meadows without any shelter, food or water. Of the 110000 captives a couple of thousand died of hunger, cold, dehydration. Some were shot for trying to crawl underneath the barb wire to drink water from the river next to the meadow....... If you Google for "Rheinwiessenlager" you'll find more info.

I think this is backwards. The Officers staying in the fancy hotels should have been in the "dirt cages", and the soldiers in the fancy digs !
A question: what crime exactly did these high officers commit? To be a high Wehrmacht officer is not a crime in itself. Perhaps one or the other has committed crimes, but we don't know! What did the soldiers do? They fought for Germany at the front. That is not a crime either, it should be appreciated. Among all these soldiers, there must have been a few who also committed crimes, just as Allied soldiers committed crimes. But we do not know which of them did. Can we collectively punish everyone? Due to concentration camp conditions? We Germans were accused of violating the Geneva Conventions. Among other things, the Geneva Convention states that all prisoners of war must be released after the end of the war. The opposite was exercised on German soldiers. And it got worse: these soldiers were deported to forced labor for years. Many did not survive that either. Deportation and forced labor is a "crime against humanity"! This crime was also committed millions of times against Germans.
@@lacertabilineata9337 The only German prisoners that did not survive were the ones that Russia had. America took care of their prisoners back here in the U.S.....even paid them for their work and taught many of them work skills so they could get jobs after their release.

They were not dropping dead like they were in the Russian prison camps....AND, they were released and sent back home after they served out their time. They were not held prisoner until they were dead...like they were in Russia.

Irrespective of "blame" I see in these men two entire generations utterly mangled and broken.. In these young boys I can see my own 11 year old son and my heart hurts to see their shock and bewilderment, the loss of their youth in that time. They became a collective part of the suffering of adult men all around them, hurdled together like human cattle without any dignity left.

Nowadays his weapons have more power in one bomb than all the bombs dropped in all of WII. They can be autonomously fired intercontinentally at supersonic speeds. Thousands of such missiles are in place as we speak. Not only great blast damage but the environment damage of radioactive debris lingering for decades. Say someone with the thought process of a suicide bomber had access to such a weapon.
What’s your point?
CHINA. IS THE ENEMY. U.S. AND ALL ITS ALLIES. NEED TO DESTROY CHINA IMMEDIATELY
The lesson is very simple . Do not invade other people s countries . There you are . No need for thanks .
what a proud us army, they won against children, women and wounded german soldiers.
You must live on some other planet and wear a tin foil hat to make that statement!
We won. Those prisoners looked like 99 percent men
Really!!! Boo Hoo! Idiot.
That´s tradition in the US-army.
I heard about that camp, no shelter food or water and medical care given
shouldn't of tried to take over Europe, cant get mad when they invited all this on themselves
@@FightingSportsMedia you spelled "tried to save Europe" wrong
@@FightingSportsMedia so what do you think should happen to the country that took over a quarter of the world's landmass?
Btw it was UK and France that declared war on Germany, not the other way round.

Part of the problem was sheer logistics. German POWs, freed Allied POWs. freed slave labor, displaced persons. sorting out those anti-communist Russians for repatriation (ie murder), refugees, etc.
New slave labor too from the Germans in captivity.
Ohoh der Ami bekommt noch nicht mal Ärtzliche Versorgung hin , schweige denn ein dach über Kopf. Aber grosse Töne spucken.
All the suffering.....have mercy on us all
Quand la roulette tourne dans l'autre direction😂... Ils avaient pas compris que le mal ne triomphera jamais au grand jamais...
thats just 1 camp - there were 19. countless germans murdered by the allies
We say it can never happen again, but it is, it is happening right now in Korea & China and no one is going over there to help them. Breaks my heart.
And in Kashmir
As long as it's not American youth to help them we've had enough .
Abortion up to the moment of birth in America.
The loss of generations . Young kids as soldiers ........just boys!
DISGRACEFUL
Yeah Nazis sucked ass
Haha 5:40 where think ur going kraut gives him a whack with stick great lmao
They were lucky to be on the right side of Berlin when captured. They didn't spend years in gulag.
Gulags were Soviet political prisons.
read ur history...the Americans eventually handed over thousands n thousands to Russia...for the rebuilding of the cities bombed by germans.
mary shaffer .They belong in a gulag.
Why Eisenhower starved most of them to death
A german speaking friend of mine said that it was worse there than at some gulags :/
Ugly bastards. They all look like assholes.
This is the master race?
What a tasteless joke that is
Those soldiers even can wear nice clothing.
Once you will wear nice clothing too. A white one, big commander.
Average people in camps, generals in palaces ... Nothing has changed ...
Never will, sad to say.
They were probably glad it was over.
Oh yes, they all were fed up with war! But it was not over for them. Many died in these camps. And most of them were deported to forced labour for years into all different countries. Many didn´t survive . The bombings stopped, but the war against us continued.
@@lacertabilineata9337 Those POWs are under USA Army control. Are you saying POWs were put in forced labour and were killed by USA Army or the USA Army handed POWs to other control where this happened?
@@lacertabilineata9337 maybe it was the price they paid to start war and crimes?
@@lacertabilineata9337
If sow the wind , you reap a whirlwind. The Americans were too nice. It is only right, that they sent you to other countries to work as slaves , you brought terrible distraction to other countries, time to pay of .
@@lacertabilineata9337 Until the day we have the occupier scum in our country.
The number of prisoners taken doesn’t really tally with the fierce fighting the Germans were supposed have put up in most Hollywood movies... reading up the various accounts from the captured generals, it seems that bad organisation was the main failure of the Germans... but it’s very easy to be an armchair critic..
Really sad.
Muitos assassinos nazistas conseguiram, de alguma forma, escapar desses campos de prisioneiros.
Según la versión de los vencedores....vaya conclusión!...se entiende que ellos lo digan, pero no se entiende que tú lo repitas
Some 12 year olds in there christ.
If only the Rusdians caught them
100 years of independent Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
I can understand the detainment of officers for questioning, but why werent the soildiers just disbanded? War was over, they were civilians
Well it may not look like it but they're lucky they weren't taken by the Soviets :/
Amercans wasn't bether
It´s not important wether they were killed by the bolsheviks or starved to death in good ol Ike´s death camps.
Cca one milion german prisoners Die in west camps. Super humanity.
VÖLKERMORD
Nein, eine überwältigende Anzahl von Männern, um die man sich kümmern muss.
People seem to think it’s ok that the Germans were given the same treatment as they gave to the Jews and other innocents. If I’m not mistaken tho there are the rules Geneva Convention , seems as tho the victors forgot this, but as we know the victors write the books. With that being said I’m not saying it was okay for what the fascist movement was doing by no means just makes no since to fight to stop the atrocities just to turn around and repeat them.
solo soldados y oficiales de las wehrmacht, no veo ningun ss
Сколько страданий принесла война советской России... Без повторения . Всем- мирного неба над головой.
And now the suffering the Russians are bringing to the Ukrainians…just as the Germans bought to the Russians in 1941.
The allied concentration camp..
nope
I feel bad for the innocent ones who was putting in jail and they was innocent I mean they dosen't do war crimes against innocent people in ww2
Considering the atrocities committed by German soldiers, it's hard to feel sorry for these POWs.
😠😠😠
So sad, these soldiers regardless of what side they were on, we need to respect them.
Men sent to fight a war that others picked
Do you regret them?They survived the war.I feel sorry for those they killed.They now sit on pensions and visit the World.And their victims have been dead for a long time.
@@ireki6213 And yours, what about them. Only that yours are producing even and still now... And they didn't "killed" anyone; they made the war, certainly agains savages a you and others like you are.
Soviet wounded very badly treated Stalin and NKVD.
No sanitation , no shelter from the weather weeks / months without proper food , no medical care , hundreds of them died a slow horrible death , in the ditches they dug to get some cover from the weather.
treated like animals until today
Happy for those that returned.
Fuck you nazi
@@BRunoAWAY He’s a National Socialist for having empathy? Strange logic.
@@SnowingAsh111 This is how indoctrinated people are today, the truth is very sad.
Nadie recuerda a esos pobres y valientes curas Polacos q dieron la vida por el prójimo cuando se cambiaron por dos prisioneros q se iban a ejecutar
I am not American and am against present American administration and its support of Saudi Arabia. But, WWII is a war America tried to avoid at all costs. In the end, countless young American soldiers lives were lost along with all the countless others. This might look like a sad and miserable sight from the last days of the war, but fortunately, most of these men went on with their lives, unlike the ones that stayed on the battlefield.
Ever heard of land lease act?
The US built bombers since 1936.
teach hca Actually, One million Germans died in these camps from starvation, dehydration, exposure, disease, beaten to death or just plain shot. Here on UA-cam please watch: "Eisenhower's Rhine Meadows Death Camps Documentary" and "Other Losses - a film by James Bacque". The book "Other losses" is available on Amazon.
Are you sure about that? Ford and Wall Street financed Hitler
Countless? Actually history has a fairly accurate count on american casualties and even other countries too
@@silverbullet2008bb I know the documentation that exists in abundance of all the German POW camps in North America, one of 10,000 men in my community -with a population even larger than the city. My father made a life-long friendship with one. They worked side by side on a local farm. Many came back to live in North America.
German or Nazis? The same shit
I love Germany and my Heart Germany
