The story of German POWs in Mississippi is interesting. http://www.mshistorynow.mdah.ms.gov/articles/233/german-prisoners-of-war-in-mississippi-1943-1946
We met a woman in Jamaica whose father had been there. The ex-POWs knew they had been treated well.
Welcome to the Canteen, Boojum, and thank you for the link.
An interesting read.
