What did German prisoners of war think when they were imprisoned in our country?

 Browsing through Youtube Kadizzle came across narrations by a German prisoner that was held in the United States during World War II. The tale was from the diary of a rational man. This got Kadizzle to listen to several other of the stories about how Germans perceived what was going on during other aspects of the war. 

Reality is where you find it, or from where you look. There is something magic about seeing things from a fresh perspective. Americans treated German prisoners well. Food was somewhat of a problem, but most of the Germans ended up liking Americans. 

At first the Germans thought the United States was all wine and roses as they were shipped by train across the country, then they saw the poor black people living in shacks and realized it was not all good for everyone.
