The Soldiers Who Came Home in 1956#historyAdded:
After Germany surrendered in 1945, more than 11 million soldiers laid down their weapons. Millions were captured and sent to American, British, and French prison camps, where many were forced to help rebuild the shattered cities and infrastructure of post-war Europe. Most prisoners eventually returned home by 1948, but those taken to Soviet labor camps faced a far darker fate, enduring starvation, brutal labor, and countless deaths. Some German soldiers remained imprisoned for over a decade, with the last few not released until 1956.
