Most of the German POWs captured by American force in North Africa and Italy were sent to the US. They were sent to places like Wisconsin, Georgia, Utah and Texas. Why was that considered a good idea?

America GI’s who were black resented the fact that because of Jim Crow Laws in the South German POWs who were not deemed to be a security risk could go to movie theaters and restaurants they themselves weren't permitted to enter.

I'm not black, and I agree with them. Why should enemies of the country be given more rights than U.S. citizens?

I agree. Think of it. We fought a war against a belief system that held certain races of people had not right to live simply because of what they were. African-American POWs were horribly treated in many cases by the Germans, particularly by the SS.

Have you ever heard of “The Wereth 11’’? Sad story.

Perhaps it was because the Germans were better behaved?

“...Why should enemies of the country be given more rights than U.S. citizens?...”

Oh, like in the recent COVID relief bill where our enemies are allocated billions and the “unwashed masses” of U. S. citizens get a meager $600? I fully agree!!!
