A QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTS - "My grandfather was a POW in Oklahoma, he worked om a farm as a ranch hand and a babysitter to a single father whom had 2 boys one missing in action, and a 4 year old, he loved and adored the little boy, the father eventually adopted the solider, who was only 18 at the time. He returned to Germany, only to emigrante back to the US within a month. That little boy is my uncle and the German soldier is my grandfather."

My Dad was one of the guards in N.Y. He escorted the POWs to Coral City in south Florida. Most of the POWs stayed in Coral City and their decedents live there today.

SGT Mary G. - My understanding is that after the war they were released to find their own way home.
