In all, 4. 25,0. 00 German prisoners lived in 7. United States during World War II. World War IeditHostilities ended six months after the United States saw its first action in World War I, and only a relatively small number of German prisoners of war reached the U. S. 1 Many prisoners were German sailors caught in port by U. S. forces far away from the European battlefield. The United States Department of War designated three locations as POW camps during the war Forts Mc. Pherson and Oglethorpe in Georgia and Fort Douglas in Utah. The exact population of German POWs in World War I is difficult to ascertain because they were housed in the same facilities used to detain civilians of German heritage residing in the United States, but there were known to be 4. German POWs at Fort Douglas and 1,3. Fort Mc. Pherson. The prisoners built furniture and worked on local roads. The few dozen who died while incarcerated as POWs were buried at Ft. Douglas, Utah, the Chattanooga National Cemetery, and Fort Lyon, Colorado. World War IIeditBackgroundeditAfter the United States entered World War II in 1. United Kingdom requested American help with housing prisoners of war due to a housing shortage in Britain. The United States agreed to house them,1. Its military had only brief experience with a limited POW population in the last world war, and was unprepared for basic logistical considerations such as food, clothing and housing requirements of the prisoners. Almost all German speaking Americans were engaged overseas directly in combat efforts, and the American government feared the presence of Germans on U. Time Crisis 2 For Pc. S. soil would create a security problem and raise fear among civilians. Despite many wild rumors about how the Allies treated their prisoners,1. Germans were pleased to be captured by the British or Americansfear of being captured by the Soviets was widespreadbecause they disagreed with Nazism or their nations conduct of the war. The prisoners were usually shipped in Liberty Ships returning home that would otherwise be empty,1. While they risked being sunk by their own U boats on the ocean, good treatment began with the substantial meals served aboard. Upon arriving in America, the comfort of the Pullman cars that carried them to their prison camps amazed the Germans,1. The Geneva ConventioneditThe campsedit.

The three admirals and 4. Mississippi camp, where each had his own bungalow with a garden. Government guidelines mandated placing the compounds away from urban, industrial areas for security purposes, in regions with mild climate to minimize construction costs, and at sites where POWs could alleviate anticipated farm labor shortages. A current 2. 01. Owosso, MI, WW II P. O. W. camp where German soldiers were held. The site had been, and then was again, the Owosso racetrack. The Geneva Conventions mandate of equal treatment for prisoners also meant they were paid American military wages. They could work on farms or elsewhere only if they were also paid for their labor, and officers could not be compelled to work. As the United States sent millions of soldiers overseas, the resulting shortage of labor eventually meant that German POWs worked toward the Allied war effort by helping out in canneries, mills, farms and other places deemed a minimal security risk. Prisoners could not be used in work directly related to the military work, or in dangerous conditions. The minimum pay for enlisted soldiers was 0. American private. In 1. 94. 3 the government estimated that prisoner labor cost 5. While language differences and risk of escape or unreliable work were disadvantages, prisoner workers were available immediately on demand and in the exact numbers needed. While prisoners on average worked more slowly and produced less than civilians, their work was also more reliable and of higher quality. Part of their wages helped pay for the POW program, and the workers could use the rest as pocket money for the camp canteen. They were paid in scrip. All hard currency was confiscated with other personal possessions during initial processing for return after the war as mandated by the Convention, as money could be used during escape attempts. The government received 2. Newspaper coverage of the camps and public knowledge were intentionally limited until the end of the war, in part to comply with the Geneva Convention and in part to avoid the fear of an enemy presence in such large numbers. While most citizens living near camps accepted the prisoners presence, the government received hundreds of letters each week protesting their treatment. Many demanded that the POWs be immediately killed, a sentiment the regular casualty lists in American newspapers encouraged. The government had difficulty in persuading the public that treating the prisoners according to the Geneva Convention made it more likely that Germany would treat American prisoners well. Labor unions were the largest opposition to the use of the prisoner workers, citing the War Manpower Commissions rules that required union participation in worker recruitment whenever possible. Given the wartime labor shortage however, especially in agriculture, many valued their contribution as late as February 1. Labor Reportsedit. Dos Palos POW Branch Camp Final Report. Twice each month each prisoner of war camp was required to fill out WD AGO Form 1. Office of the Provost Marshal General, Washington 2. D. C., Attention Prisoner of War Operations Division. The report included the camps name and address, the nationality of the prisoners, the total number of prisoners broken down by the number of officers, NCOs and privates, and the number of man days worked by project in that camp during the reporting period.

There were insufficient American guards, especially German speakers guards. They mostly supervised the German officers and NCOs who strictly maintained discipline. The Germans woke their own men, marched them to and from meals, and prepared them for work 2. Prisoners had friendly interaction with local civilians2. Black American guards noted that German prisoners could visit segregated restaurants that they could not. Alex Funke, a former POW at Camp Algona, wrote We all were positively impressed by the USA.
