Once on a train ride from Kitzingen to Frankfort I encountered a former POW who'd been housed in Arizona. He wanted to practice English. Turned out he'd been taken captive at Dunkirk by withdrawing Brits. Then, later on when the US was in the war and the camps opened in Arizona, he was sent there ~ one of the first.

He was put to work raising sugar beets. After the war he got into the sugar beat business in Germany and did well at it. He said he regularly visited old friends from the sugar beat farm in the States.

Thanks muawiyah. A friend’s father was a German POW, liked what he saw while he was interned here, went back after the war to take care of some matters, then emigrated to the US.
