WWII German P.O.W. Camp Newspapers

During World War Two, the United States housed about 175,000 captured German soldiers at military bases and temporary camp installations across the county to help relieve other Allied nations of the massive burden. One of the allowances given to these prisoners was the ability to publish newspapers, journals, newsletters, etc. in their native language, though these publications were passed through censors by the United States government. The newspapers included poetry, literature, comedy, sports, and political discussions on the future of Germany.
