"A retired history teacher... wrote her book... after her students said they didn't believe that their community once housed POWs."
Book Description
"Stalag Wisconsin: Inside WW II prisoner-of-war camps" is a comprehensive look inside Wisconsin's 38 branch camps that held 20,000 Nazi and Japanese prisoners of war during World War II. Most worked on farms, harvesting peas and other crops. Many of these prisoners blended with the local community, drinking at taverns and even dating local young women. Some returned and settled in Wisconsin after their release. Their familiarity with local residents caused resentment by returning soliders who had battled them in Europe and Asia.
