Louis Zamperini
War
He ended up basically getting saved by one of the islanders that happened to be christian but was shipped to another war camp.
He was treated absolutely horribly before being shipped to another war camp where there was a mentally unstable person who was fixated on breaking Louis. His nickname was the bird.
He had a raft which he and some of his crew-mates were on with him. He was on the raft starving for thirty two days and then ended up on an island where he was held as a prisoner.
Louis was given a chance at becoming a propaganda guy that would discourage the US army. He declined and was beaten.

Not only this but the bird also happened to be shipped to this camp and was even worse to Louis. Like the time he made Louis hold a wooden beam up for thirty seven minutes while he was beaten.

All prisoner had to salute the birds office even if he wasn't there. Sometimes the bird would hide in the bushes with a bat ad would beat whoever doesn't salute.

Louis drank and even picked up cigarette buts on the way to kindergarten, and then smoked them.
Louie became good however after his brother made him start running so he was able to become good and stopped smoking so his lungs could get more breath.

Hitler was there and even sad to recognized him for what he'd done. Louis stole a nazi flag from Germany and was almost thrown in jail.

Post War
Louis was so broken he was planning to kill the bird and was constantly getting into fights. His friends almost beat up a waiter when they brought them white rice.
Louis turned to Christianity from Billy Graham and it helped relieve his stress almost immediately. He even tried converting the bird into christianity.
Louis and his friends were extremely broken after the war. For example almost all of the POWs became alcoholics and Louis was no different.
