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.

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 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.

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. "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."

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.

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.

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.

One thing mankind has proven time and time again. He cannot avoid war. There’s always something brewing somewhere from greed jealousy and hate. 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.

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.

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.
