During World War II, thousands of Axis prisoners of war wereheld throughout Nebraska in base camps that included Fort Robinson, CampScottsbluff and Camp Atlanta. Many Nebraskans did not view the POWs as "evilNazis." To them, they were ordinary men and very human.

Drawingon first-person accounts from soldiers, former POWs and Nebraska residents, aswell as archival research, Melissa Marsh delves into the neglected history ofNebraska's POW camps.
