Short Stuff: POW Olympics

In this episode of Short Stuff, Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating and surprisingly uplifting history of POW Olympics held during World War II, particularly focusing on the 1944 games organized in a German officers' prison camp in Waldenburg, Poland. The guys explore how these games included traditional Olympic events like soccer, basketball, and track and field, along with some surprising cultural competitions in the arts that were actually part of the official Olympic medal count for decades. They also touch on the propaganda purposes behind these camps and even reference the classic Stallone film Victory that dramatized a similar wartime soccer match.
