Arizona's Largest POW camp

- During WWII as the allied troops invaded Africa, Italy and later Europe large numbers of Italian and German troops surrendered creating a large prisoner population. Since Europe was engulfed in War and the United States has lost a major source of manpower it was decided to establish Prisoner of War Camps throughout the U.S. and put the prisoners to work, thus compensating for the loss of labor when most able bodied men joined the military to serve the war.

Governor McFarland used to live down the street from my grandmother near seventh Avenue and Northern. Great videos! I’m so glad someone’s documenting and sharing a lot of this knowledge. I’m a native born and raised and I love our heritage. Thanks again
Thanks so much for the comment and watching. I really appreciate it.
My father was a guard at the camp cpl Joseph Hopper, he met and married my mother Carmela Montano in Florence where she lived. I came back to Florence every summer to stay with grandmother Carmen Montano
Your father was a guard at CPL? Was that the POW camp? Or the prison? I'm reading a book written by Ralph Storm called Camp Florence Days. He was a guard at the POW camp. (Army). Thanks so much for watching the video.
if you have information on italian pow at camp Florence please contact us: segreteria@ampil.it
One of your best posts...thx
This is very interesting! I never knew, but am happy you did the research and shared what you found. Thank you!
Super cool history video friend really enjoyed this sledgehammered that like button looking forward to the next one
Very interesting. I was unaware of so many pow camps.
Great job👍
So much History to be discovered in this state. Thanks for watching.
I lived off of Stanford drive in the desert when I was3 4 5 years old there was a sand and rock quarry by the canal that was close and I know they had German prisoners working there and my mom said I talked to them trough the fence that surrounded the quarry.
I knew about the Papago Park PW camp and the infamous escape(s) but I didn't know about the Gila county and Graham county 'side camps' in Duncan and Safford Arizona. Great Video!
If you made it to POW status in the United States you could almost consider yourself a winner of the war. In America the POWs ate very good. They were far from danger. And all they has to do was a little work and wait the war out. The lucky ones.
Great Channel and Video 👍🇩🇪
I would have liked to have seen what was left of the camp, if anything.
Cool video an not far from me, once i think I've seen everything I find something 😁❤👍
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch.
Hay brother, get up with me I know, I'd love to talk to you about the local natives, as well as some video of locations near you
Couldn't watch video for more than 3 minutes. Gotta tone down those hand gestures! Distracting.
Throwing up the👌 triple 6.
You need to go to the actual land site and film it to make this video rise to a better level than droll footage of the inside of a courthouse. What is there now? That was a LOT of buildings and infrastructure (plumbing, etc.) Is nothing left of it? What happened to it all? Who owns the site today. All of this should have been covered in the most basic, average video of a historic topic like this. I would recommend that you dress better on camera and drop the shades. Best wishes and good luck.
Is that all?
@@arizonatimelesstourist846 The key and obvious question on this subject is, What does it look like TODAY? How did you miss that?
