I wonder if anyone here knows of or lives close to a POW camp where German POWs were interned. I pass by one in a small town here in Texas on my way to work every day. It is located close to a small town, Princeton, which was pretty isolated during WW II. I have watched some of the programs on the History channel and it seems that our own soldiers who came home on leave or because of wounds were upset because the POWs were allowed to work on nearby farms for pay. One Marine was pretty bitter about the POWs being allowed to go to town under guard and spend their money on things that he couldn't afford.

I know that most POW camps were located in Texas and Arizona in areas that would be harder to escape from but there were few escapes because they were treated pretty good. Where were the Japanese POWs interned?
I have read that not many Japanese surrendered so there weren`t as many to imprison.
