The book explores the unique experiences of German prisoners of war who voluntarily immigrated to the United States after their captivity. Utilizing archival research and interviews with 35 former POWs, it delves into the transformative journey from being captives to becoming American citizens. Despite varied backgrounds and arrival times between 1943 and 1945, their shared experiences as prisoners shaped their identities and provided them with the means to embrace a new life in America, which they viewed as a place of opportunity and prosperity.
