A Michigan Tale

We had them down here, too. There was a POW camp not much over 10 miles from my house. Several of the local men that were too old to serve in the military worked there. The prisoners worked on farms and logging. Interesting factoid...The first Japanese POW of WW2 was housed there for awhile (He was captured at Pearl Harbor).
But if you went up to North Louisiana, T.L. James built one of the largest camps in the U.S.

That camp actually had Russian POW's at one time. Stalin probably executed them when they were shipped back to the U.S.S.R.
