Hearne Had a POW Camp?

Almost 500,000 German POWs were brought back to the United States during WWII. Many of them ended up in Hearne, about 100 miles up the road. Cheryl LeJune shared what led up to the POW influx, the conditions of the camp, and the outcomes. We also watched a History Channel show, Nazi POWs in America, for an overview of this little know story of WWII.
