I rented this film from Netflix recently. It is the story of American GI's captured during the Battle of the Bulge and sent to slave labor camps in Germany where they were starved, beaten and forced to work in the quartz mines, many until they died. This was no Luftwaffe run Stalag, but a death camp run by the Waffen SS. The entire film is just a collection of US Army veterans telling their stories to the camera, although there is some actual wartime film as well as some reenactment that goes along with their words. They worked along side of the prisoners from Auschwitz and Buchanwald who had been moved from those camps to work digging these underground tunnels that were to be used as factories that could not be bombed by airstrikes. Those who survived were mere skeletons, weighing less than 100 lbs. Makes me wonder why there were ever shows like "Hogans Heroes" where German soldiers were portrayed as bumbling, but "lovable" buffoons like Sgt. Schultz and Col. Klink while the POWS ran the camps.
