I'm afraid all I have to offer, for now, is recollection. But I should think good information would be available.

I do remember when I was a boy, seeing German POWs working in pea fields in Wisconsin. I was told they worked also in the pea cannery, but know no more than that. It was my Berlin friend (I think) who told me they made some small wage, perhaps a few cents per hour for their labor.

There is a local history book about the WWII prison camps in Wisconsin. Things were pretty benevolent.
