The Texas German communities (Rockne, Bastrop, Castroville, New Braunfels, Schulenberg, etc.) had several German POW camps also: My uncles were in the army out of state, my mom didn’t see them working on her farm though she knew others who had their labor.

They had them at Camp McCoy, WI. When I was there in early ,70’s there were still German words carved in the walls. Sort of a German version of “Kilroy was here”.
