Editorial Reviews

Review
"A retired history teacher... wrote her book... after her students said they didn't believe that their community once housed POWs." -- USA Today, Jan. 28, 2002

Product Description
"Stalag Wisconsin: Inside WW II prisoner-of-war camps" is a comprehensive look inside Wisconsin's 38 branch camps that held 20,000 Nazi and Japanese prisoners of war during World War II. Most worked on farms, harvesting peas and other crops. Many of these prisoners blended with the local community, drinking at taverns and even dating local young women. Some returned and settled in Wisconsin after their release. Their familiarity with local residents caused resentment by returning soliders who had battled them in Europe and Asia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stalag Wisconsin, April 24, 2009
I have read this book twice. I grew up in West Central Wisconsin, close to Altoona, where the author is from. My dad was in WWII and was of 100% German ancestry, so this book intrigued me.

The author has done an excellent job in researching this book, and the topic is fascinating. Wisconsin the 1940's was heavily German, and therefore, POW's could always find somebody who spoke German. Betty wrote about the experience at specific camps, and interviwed local people, and also interviewed some former German prisoners.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it.
