Found this information: "Smithsonian" magazine of June 1995; pages 126-143; titled: "By Convention, the enemy within never did without." During W.W.II, 375,000 German prisoners of war lived so well in US POW camps that thousands migrated back to become citizens. Also referenced in this article are these: "Nazi Prisoners of War in America" by Arnold Krammer, Stein and Day [Briarcliff Manor, New York], 1979. "Hitler's Last Soldier in America" by Georg Gaertner, Stein and Day, 1985. "Stalag: U.S.A." by Judith M. Gansberg, Thomas Y. Crowell [New York], 1977. "Prisoners of War" by Ronald H. Bailey, W.W.II series [Vol. 30], Time-Life Books [Alexandria, Virginia], 1981. "The Faustball Tunnel" by John Hammond Moore, Random House, 1978. Any of these can probably be gotten through your local public library. The German prisoners held at many of the central Plain's States POW camps were much appreciated for their vital labor while on work details to help with seeding, haying, harvesting in the area. Many POW work details were so trusted that guards were few. However, military service training expects any soldier captured will make every effort to escape and return to their country's service. The above: "Faustball Tunnel" article relates the German POWs (in Arizona, I believe) and their great tunneling & engineering efforts to escape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Camp Concordia,German POW's in the MidWest, by Lowell A.
