Thank you, William!

I have gone to the site and read the article and apparently, Italians were
in these camps, too!

Would you know if, Mr. Heitmann has finished his book or research?

I have seen the POW camps at Jefferson Barracks.These were for captured
German soldiers.

I wonder if, anyone would know, how the government decided which German/s to
send to these camps.

My German family seemed to do pretty well , here. Of course, four of my
uncles were in the war...one on the USS Saratoga and wounded and the other
in the Battle of the Bulge and Normandy. My grandmother fought like hell to
keep one in the states and the fourth was only 15 and she got him out...he
later joined the Marines and served when he was older.

Maybe, this was the difference...don't know ...just wondered how and where
they chose to arrest or detain these German/s and/or families.

If true, sad , sad, sad. I suppose much like today's worries over
homeland security and all.

Maybe, years down the road the Arabs will be demanding and apology???

Thanks again!

Pat
