I read a book about German POWs in America It mentioned that the first German POWs from the Afrika Corps were hardened NAZIs and were placed in charge of other German POWs because they could keep good order and discipline The could fly NAZI flags and when one of the POWs died, he was given a full miltary funeral with a NAZI flag drapping the coffin and an honor guard which would provide the proper NAZI salute at the funeral and burial Comment from : George Weber |

German POWs in southern states could eat in restaurants which did not serve black people due to Jim Crow Laws Also, some German POWS did not want to return to Germany after the war because their town was in the Soviet occupied region and they were afraid of how they might be treated Also, many German POWs who were repatriated to Germany would later return to America and become US citizens Comment from : George Weber |

My uncle Friedrich Brenner was imprisoned during ww1 and was put in prison because he wouldn’t fight against his own kin I wouldn’t say it was a happy ending like others who were put in PoW camps He came out very depressed and would leave Michigan back to Germany and only talked to close family Comment from : floatahhh |

My father grew up on the Eastern shore of Maryland He was a teenager during WW 2 and I remember him sharing stories of seeing buses go by with German POWs to work in the fields What is remembered was frequently hearing them sing songs in German The camp had to be in Somerset (Camp Somerset) county since my father grew up in the adjacent Wicomico county Comment from : Kristin Ownby |

One interesting thing I heard about 30 years ago in regards to this is that there was a German POW camp in North Carolina and the prisoners were clothed in Confederate uniforms that had been warehoused near the POW camp Could be apocryphal, but interesting nonetheless given what those Civil War uniforms would be worth today Comment from : T W |

The POW's that were taken from the U-505 U-boat on June 4, 1944 were sent to the POW camp in Ruston La They were not allowed to send letters home, in direct violation of the Geneva agreement, as the US did not want Germany to know that the boat was lost but the crew was saved, along with the valuable enigma machine and code books They were finally repatriated in 1947 Comment from : Eric Ericson |

An interesting book with local ties (CA) but also of subject matter interest is, German Prisoners of War at Camp Cooke, California The author, Jeffrey E Geiger, contacted former POWs living in Germany for their recollections of serving time He also includes general history of the campsbrNot related to the book the story of Georg Gaertner can be read on line He was an escaped POW from a camp in the USA and living and hiding in America for 40 years after the war ended Comment from : bob schiller |

I’m another commenter that had family involved with German POW camps My great-grandfather volunteered at the camp in Aliceville, AL He worked with POWs on carpentry projects they would do for “work” for local businesses Nothing large scale, but it kept them busy as a craft exercise and provided some goods for the local government and businesses there The prisoners would get cigarettes and other treats for their work brbrHe also did music activities with them There was an old piano setup there and the local Americans would share piano music together with the German prisoners brbrMy great-grandfather became friends with a prisoner who was a decent artist and painted him a photo of a wolf catching prey in a German forest He gifted it to him before he left the camp He marked his name and the date and maybe some other notes on the back It’s currently hanging on the wall in the living room of our family farm house not too far from the old camp brbrI’ve always known it was something that my grandfather cherished but after he passed and the years went by it’s significance was a bit lost and most in the family had no idea there was anything particularly interesting about that painting I got curious as I got older and investigated to find out about its specialness from my grandmother, who has always been our family “historian” brbrThis is my little story of how my family was involved with WW2 and the German POW camps Thanks for your work on producing these excellent videos They are very entertaining and stoke interest in the details of these important times gone by brbrRandall Comment from : Randall Bryant |
