Adolf Hitler would have given anything to see such headlines in 1940. Five years later, half a million German soldiers, sailors and airmen did find themselves in the UK - but as prisoners of the British government. Using recently declassified documents, this book reveals how Britain - in defiance of the Geneva Convention - went on to detain these men for a further three years, and used them for forced labour. As new interviews within these pages show, some Germans were surprised to discover a freedom unknown in their homeland: 'I felt like a guest... not any more a POW. I could hardly imagine that they had been my enemy.' But behind the barbed wire, Nazis terrorised non-Nazis... guards sometimes maltreated their prisoners... and British girls who married ex-POWs faced bitter recriminations: 'Falling pregnant outside marriage was bad enough - but with a German POW!'
