At the beginning of Chapter 8, a man, Howard W. Campbell Jr., recruits American POWs for the Free American Corps., a group of Americans that became Nazis. In real life, there was a unit of the Waffen SS that was very similar to the Free American Corps. It was known as the British Free Corps. and it recruited British POWs to the Nazi forces. Like the Free American Corps., not many POWs joined. Only 59 men were recruited during its course and at its maximum there were only 27 men in it.
