Millions of servicemen of the belligerent powers were taken
prisoner during World War II. Until recently, the popular image of
these men has been framed by tales of heroic escape or immense
suffering at the hands of malevolent captors. For the vast
majority, however, the reality was very different. Their history,
both during and after the War, has largely been ignored in the
grand narratives of the conflict. This collection brings together
new scholarship, largely based on sources from previously
unavailable Eastern European or Japanese archives. Authors
highlight a number of important comparatives. Whereas for the
British and Americans held by the Germans and Japanese, the end of
the war meant a swift repatriation and demobilization, for the
Germans, it heralded the beginning of an imprisonment that, for
some, lasted until 1956. These and many more moving stories are
revealed here for the first time.
