During World War II, the state of Alabama was home to approximately 16,000 German prisoners of war (POWs) in 24 camps. The internment of these POWs significantly affected the social and economic history of Alabama.

Cool.
Thanks for your Alabama history.
I want to hear about personal history and that from local LA towns though!

Some of the portable classroom buildings I had class in when I was a kid were built by German POWs during the war.
