Sixteen million Americans served in World War II. Of these, over 120,000 lived out part of the war behind barbed wire. In the European theater, 93,941 Americans were held as prisoners of war (POWs). These âKriegies,â short for Kriegsgefangener (German for POW) counted the days until liberation and created dream worlds for themselves inside the camps.
The U.S. saw 407,000 military deaths when you throw in smaller groups like the Merchant Marine and Civil Air Patrol. If you were taken prisoner by Germany, you had a 4% chance of dying as a POW. But if you were held by the Japanese, you had a 27% chance of dying under their control.
