We journey back in time during WWII when the Allies had no place to put the hundreds of thousands of German soldiers surrendering to Allied Forces. Small towns across the United States were chosen to host POW camps. One such camp was located about 100 miles northwest of Houston in Hearne, Texas. Learn about the history and life at these camps here.
