Nazi Prisoners Work in America (1944) | Restored WWII Newsreel | Educational Archive

This 1944 Universal Newsreel segment, titled “Nazi Prisoners Work,” shows captured German soldiers in the United States volunteering for labor duty in the forests of Michigan during World War II. Dressed for the cold, the prisoners cut timber, eat heartily, and relax afterward with games, music, and camaraderie — a rare glimpse into daily life inside American POW camps.

The full newsreel also includes scenes of daylight raids on Berlin, Allied naval forces in the Pacific, and the global war effort in 1944. This restored footage preserves a historical record of how wartime humanity persisted even among enemies.
