Lone Star Stalag: German Prisoners of War at Camp Hearne by Michael R. Waters-This is a hardcopy book in almost new condition. The dustcover shows no shelf damage. The book is very clean. This 288 page book was published in 2004. It is a history of Camp Hearne, a large POW camp in Hearne, Texas. This camp held over 5,000 German POW’s who were mostly captured from the DAK. Between 1943 and 1945 nearly 50,000 German prisoners, mostly from the German Afrika Korps lived and worked at seventy POW camps across Texas. The story of Camp Hearne told here offers the first in-depth look at one of these camps and includes an archaeological study of the treatment and conditions of the German prisoners. Drawing on newspaper accounts and official records from the time, and the recollections of surviving POWs, guards, and local residents, Waters and his team have constructed a detailed description of life in the camp: educational opportunities, recreation, mail call, religious practices, work details, and the food provided. Also revealed are the more serious issues that faced the Americans inside the POW compounds: illegal alcohol distillation, suicides, escapes, hidden secret shortwave radios, and the subversion of postal services. Fascinating artifacts recovered from the site and from the collections of local residents add concrete details. Waters also discusses the national policies and motivations for the treatment of prisoners that prescribed the particulars of camp life.

Perfect gift for little nephew
Format: Paperback
Young fella was asking for this book and I got it for him. He likes it and he’s very happy. That makes me happy as well. He says the illustrations and story are cool. That’s all I have to say about that. I guess this book falls in the same category as the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series. Wish I had these books when I was a young one. Only read Peanuts and Garfield on the weekend newspaper back in the days.

I bought this for my 9yr old he would watch them on YouTube and then I found this book. He read it in no time. I guess he liked it a lot, he didn't complain that he didn't. So if your kiddo enjoys watching them on YouTube then I'm pretty sure they will enjoy reading this book. Just being honest.
