Mississippi story -- that's where I grew up, but I got down here to LA as soon as I could, OK? -- but we Jackson, MS 1960's-era kids were early-on taught by our folks to back off any anti-German stuff. I see that Jackson (Clinton) was where the high-ranking Germans officers were housed. Jafrika was a different town back then... Interesting

My grandpa worked at Camp Clinton while living in Jackson. I've got a piece of furniture that a German officer made him out of pallet wood, finished it w shoe polish. Still looks great.
