Please enjoy your visit as you experience this movie, and discover a little about this almost forgotten, yet fascinating facet of American History. In this scene from the movie, Hans Riefenstahl (Norbert Weisser) is leading a funeral service for a fellow German POW who died at the camp.  German POWs were given flags and the materials to build crosses so they could hold funerals to honor POWs who died while being held captive. The set for the movie followed the standard layout of typical German POW camp. While the camp portrayed in this movie was fictitious, it is based on fact. By the end of the war, camps were in almost every state in the US, with the majority of them in the South or Midwestern U.S. Some camps held as many as 6,000 POWs. © TheIncidentMovie.com, 2010  by JTeDesigns.com In this scene, the body of POW Schmitz is being exhumed. Evidence indicated that he was murdered by Nazi POWs instead of dying from natural causes as the Camp Commander said. This scenario is based on true events that happened at some of the camps. Eventually, Nazi POWs were separated from the regular German Army POWs and placed in camps of their own.
