Re: Heads up for you history buffs: Wake Island
My uncle was lucky(?) to be captured by the Germans versus the Japanese and was in a camp for about 11-12 months. He said the Germans treated them very well for the most part. Many of the German guards had close relatives in the US and were always asking about the hometowns of the troops and would ask if they happened to know them. Same could not be said how they treated the Russians though...
