Prisoners of War in Missouri

Augusto Biere (L) was an Italian POW at Camp Weingarten in Ste. Genevieve County

A number of excellent websites offer information about former POW camp locations in Missouri and elsewhere in the USA.

Missouri specific

Global Citizen - Exploring Connections between Missouri and Germany - An outstanding series of reports by Missy Shelton of KSMU-FM radio in Springfield, Mo. Shelton interviewed former POWs held in Missouri as well as Missourians who remember the prisoners' time here. Reports ran in August 2003 and going to the dates for that specific period of programs are the easiest ways to locate the broadcast.
Camp Crowder - general history of the post through photographs from a variety of sources
Fort Leonard Wood - information on the post's museums, including a nice recreation of a POW barrack.
Malden - a history of Malden Army Airfield
Weingarten POW camp - information, articles and photos
