Uncovering Wisconsin’s WWII POW Camps

During World War II, 39 prisoner-of-war camps housed captured German soldiers in Wisconsin. After the war, the prisoners were sent home, and the camps were mostly forgotten. However, in 2023, the logbook of Fort McCoy's POW Camp Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Horace I. Rogers, was recovered. This presentation will highlight key discoveries from the logbook.
