Stories were the the German POWs in Texas camps were able to eat at cafes and go to the local movie theaters.

And that most stayed in the US rather than go back to the destruction in Germany.

Yeah, the former POW author was send back to Germany to a camp there and the conditions were crowded, not good. He eventually emigrated to the US and became a citizen 5 years later.

Getting captured by Americans was the luckiest day of their lives.

Their fellow soldiers captured by the Russians were not so lucky.
