Wow so you visited this POW camp before, how was it? Crazy to think that Nazis were under guard in the US

No, I haven’t visited it, other Google Street View. There isn’t much to see as most of the site has been torn down. Think a couple of buildings were still standing on Street View. It’s on my Bucket List as Concordia also has an old missile silo that’s been turned into a prepper bunker. It’s funny they tried hiding the location, but they included a sign that showed the Missile silo number which made it easy to find. Plus, the local TV station interviewed someone from the site.
I should do a post on POW camps in the U. S. as there were a few. Looks like 425,000 Germans in 700 camps in the U. S. according to Wikipedia. Looks like the handful of German admirals and generals wind up in Camp Shelby, Mississippi.

Wow that’s a lot of German PoWs more than I realized!

I knew it was a lot, but didn’t think it was that high until I checked after your comment. At Fort Riley, which is a few hours away, they have 62 German and 11 Italian burials of POWs who died while prisoners. I almost made it to the event about 6 years ago, but a friend died and I went to his funeral.

The event at Fort Riley was for the day of my friend’s funeral and I thought supporting his children was more important than something I could do at a later date.
