<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1484806, member: 15199&quot;]The internment camps of any nation are a sad reminder of the world&#039;s history. As an adjunct to this subject, the US also had prisoner of war camps in the US. This site chronicles the one in Arizona ( some estimate as high as 5000 German soldiers) and was where an escape worthy of Hollywood occurred on Christmas 1944. It would have gone well as the Germans had a smuggled map that showed a river very close, and they figured to tunnel out and steal boats at the river and float down to the Colorado river and to Mexico and the Gulf. Unfortunately there was no water in the river ( Arizona), so they scattered ( any way this site has an interesting summary)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://brazilbrazil.com/powcamp.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://brazilbrazil.com/powcamp.html" rel="nofollow">http://brazilbrazil.com/powcamp.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
