NEW - German Prisoners of War at Camp Cooke, California

Buy Direct From the Author! GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR AT CAMP COOKE, CALIFORNIA is the compelling story of fourteen German soldiers who were captured during the campaigns in North Africa and Europe, and then sat out the remainder of the war as POWs. Each former prisoner discusses his unique experiences in the Wehrmacht, and later as a POW in America - mostly at Camp Cooke and its branch camps - and the lasting impression these events had on him. The personal accounts are presented against the backdrop of the U.S. War Department’s nationwide POW program. Together, they convey complete and authentic stories of soldiers who survived the cataclysm of World War II. How were the POWs treated? What types of labor did they perform in the camps? Were recreational and educational opportunities available to the prisoners? Was fraternization between Americans and POWs a problem in the camps? If a prisoner escaped, what form of punishment could he expect to receive? Find the answers to these and other questions in my book.
