In this session, we uncover one of WWII's strangest secrets — what happened when 317,000 German soldiers were shipped to American soil. They arrived as enemies. They were held in camps with barely any guards. Yet almost none tried to escape. And when they were finally allowed to go home, many refused. This is the story of how America didn't just capture soldiers — it broke their minds. Let this incredible forgotten chapter of history carry you gently into a deep, restful sleep.

Fall asleep to this intriguing story of innovation and betrayal. In 1937, a US Marine officer journeyed 2,000 miles through communist China, absorbing guerrilla tactics from Mao's forces. He later brought these methods to the U.S., creating America's first special operations unit - the Marine Raiders - noted for a 25:1 kill ratio against the Japanese. Despite his success, his ideas were considered too radical. The Marine Corps buried his achievements, the FBI investigated him, and history almost forgot him. Discover the story of the man who pioneered modern special forces and the institution that sought to erase him from history. #communists #specialforces #USMarine #Mao #MarineRaiders #guerrillatactics See show notes: https://inlet.fm/absolute-sleep/episodes/6939452e303fb8293026a042 Learn more about your ad choices.

While German POWs ate meat twice daily in America, 3.3 million Soviet POWs died in German captivity, most from deliberate starvation.
