Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. 2073 Nazi Prisoners of War in America, by Arnold Krammer (read 13 Apr 1987) This tells of 400,000 German POWs in America during the Second World War. It was a subject I knew little about, so I thought the book would be interesting and it was. One certainly heard little about the subject during the War. There were prisoners at Algona and Cherokee in Iowa, but there were well over a hundred major internment camps in the U.S. One man escaped and was never recaptured. The escape rate was less than one-half of 1%, and most were recaptured very quickly. A good, easy-to-read book ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This is the only book available that tells the full story of how the U.S. government, between 1942 and 1945, detained nearly half a million Nazi prisoners of war in 511 camps across the country. With a new introduction and illustrated with more than 70 rare photos, Krammer describes how, with no precedents upon which to form policy, America's handling of these foreign prisoners led to the hasty conversation of CCC camps, high school gyms, local fairgrounds, and race tracks to serve as holding areas. The Seattle Times calls Nazi Prisoners of War in America "the definitive history of one of the least known segments of America's involvement in World War II. Fascinating. A notable addition to the history of that war." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
