They had been shipped over to France and the UK in 1946 where they 
worked as laborers for the next three years.

And several people - not just me - have directed you to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the_United_States

"Although they expected to go home immediately after the end of the war 
in 1945, the majority of German prisoners continued working in the 
United States until 1946 — arguably violating the Geneva Convention's 
requirement of rapid repatriation — then spent up to three more years as 
laborers in France and the United Kingdom"

If you had been paying attention you'd have known this already.
