Susan--there seems to be some "discussion" about German POWs at Ft Frederick to begin with--even though Gen Washington ordered some to be sent there> This is what I have received from the fort's historian: "Jim, The only primary documentation we have for prisoners is British units sent here after the battle of Yorktown. Those units are: 17th Rgt. of Foot 23rd Rgt. of Foot 33rd Rgt. of Foot 71st Rgt. of Foot, 2nd Battalion Light Infantry Battalion North Carolina Volunteers We know that some of the troops from the Convention Army were sent here. However, we do not have a list of the specific units. We also do not have any primary documentation that shows Germans being sent here. If you have something, I'd love to see it.
