POWs return home

The war in Europe ended in May 1945, but the POWs remained in the compounds and continued to work — some for almost a year after the war ended. American soldiers were mustered out of the military quickly and efficiently, but President Harry Truman decided that a labor shortage existed in the United States and that the POWs should remain in this country until the labor shortage was over. Some POWs did not get home to Germany until mid-1946. They had been in the Mississippi camps almost three years.

Despite what the Times says about the German POWs in America remaining ardent Nazis, a whole lot of them also were not in a particular hurry to return home. And several of them found ways to come back as American citizens. Life as a POW in the United States was not so bad. Certainly a lot better than their far more numerous comrades who found themselves in Soviet captivity.
