Wolfgang, in what location were these supposed prisoners? In Europe or in America? A great many POWs were brought to America during the war, and lodged all over the country, I imagine.

I remember them from when I was a child in Oregon- German POWs worked in commercial bean picking operations there. And in the '70s, a man I dated for a few years had been a German POW held first in Georgia and then in Alabama, working in orchards. He said that until FDR died, they had wonderful food and he gained 30 pounds. After Truman took over, their diet became quite bland and routine. In 1956 he emigrated to this country from Germany.
