What about cars used by the military to transport Axis POWs during World War II?

I remember seeing an interesting piece on the History Channel not too long ago about Nazi POW officers in Texas (I think it was Texas). It was just a dramatization but the coach cars they rode on looked like oridanry passenger cars. Interestingly enough while they were at a station stop the POW were singing a song in German but the tune was familar to American ears (I can't remember the name of the song). It was said that the citizens at the station heard this singing and begain giving these POWs food through the windows, well aware of the fact these were Nazi POWs.
I be darned if I can remember the name of the program this was on, the History Channel runs so many WWII programs, but that's beside the point.
I'm criminal justice major and we've never talked about prisoner transport in all my classes. We usually tackle things like social issues and court procedures. Learning how to be a police officer or corrections officer comes with the training only after a person gets accepted for that job. I'll tap my resources and see what I can find.
