Re: The guillotines part is BS

Bullets are cheap and less work than a guillotine.

The numerous prisoner boxcars have been around since WWII. There was also many prison camps in the wilds of Canada and the USA.

The USA and Canada were very prepared for the influx of WWII anticipated german and japanese prisoners, and anticipated more in the event we were invaded by Germany or Japan.

The prison boxcars have had the old rusty antiquated shackles removed and more modern types welded on.

The boxcars with guillotines at the end are pure bull shit. What is misconstrued as guillotines, is nothing more than a steel box that has a steel door that slides up in slotted rails on each side, it does resemble a guillotine if you do not walk up close and examine it, because it is sort of dark when standing in the doorway looking in, some of us thought the box was for storing supplies, and some thought it might be for isolating prisoners that may hurt other prisoners or guards.
Later I found out the bottom part that was boxed in with a space between that and the box cabinet was used for coal.
There used to be a small stove bolted to the floor between doorways for heat in the winter, you could see the tee shaped flue pipe on top of the boxcar.
A lot of us have seen them, but we never thought to twist it into a conspiracy, maybe I could have made a lot of money on it if I had only thought of making a Conspiracy out of it.

In the summer, you could see the boxcars pass by with doors open while transporting german prisoners to camps.

Now I wish I had because, obviously somebody is making money on it with web sponsors paying for website hits.

Many germans prisoners learned to speak english, and many became friends with the guards, and many german prisoners chose to stay and become american citizens while others chose to go back to germany.

I knew many ex-german prisoners, and there are many of them still here in about every city.
Just ask them about the boxcars and prison camps, they will tell you they were well treated, and most were surprised how friendly the american guards were and about the friendships they formed.

What surprised the german prisoners most, was there was no hatred toward them, and they couldnt believe how well they were fed because, the last years of the war, the germans had very little food and there was a lot of hunger among the german people.

My german POW friend was a cobbler and made shoes before the war, he opened up a shoe repair shop in Florida, he mainly repaired shoes and made some hand made shoes for people that could afford it. Tweet
