#3 Following excerpt says a lot about our willingness to wage war and seek decisive Victory. Problem is, it was 60 some years ago.
In the United States, at the end of WWII there were 175 Branch Camps serving 511 Area Camps containing over 425,000 prisoners of war. The camps were located all over the US but were mostly in the South because of the expense of heating the barracks. Eventually, every state with the exception of Nevada, North Dakota, and Vermont had POW camps.
A (nearly) complete list of all camps can be found at http://home.arcor.de/kriegsgefangene/usa/camps_usa/standort.html |
