: I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON PRISONERS OF WWII. MY GRANDFATHER WAS A POW. HE IS RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. HE DID NOT SPEAK OF HIS POW DAYS, AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT SURE WHERE HE WAS HELD. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TO RESEARCH IT. ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME I WOULD APPRECIATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
We have some information on the treatment of some
prisoners of war, although not in grave detail,
in our Bataan death march and the Battle of the Bulge
pages...
The urls are /26742/jp.html#bataan for the Bataan Death March
and /26742/bulge.html for the Battle of the Bulge...
This url gives information to U.S. POW camps for captured enemies in America http://www.wagga.com.au/cowra/camps.html
This url gives mixed information about World War II, and other wars about POWS http://www.usvetdsp.com/story29.htm
You can check out Yahoo's Catagory for POWS http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/History/By_Time_Period/20th_Century/Military_History/World_War_II/Prisoners_of_War/
This one also has POW information http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/History/By_Time_Period/20th_Century/Military_History/World_War_II/Personal_Accounts/Prisoners_of_War/
This one is a personal account of an American POW who was captured by
both the Germans and Japanese http://www.usmm.org/duffy.html
Sorry, but this is all the information we could find. I know I don't
have that much about POWs on this page... I hope these urls help you out
