Do you know of
anyone whose family may have used German POWs on
their farms during 1942-1946? I am of the
opinion that if the German POWs had not been
available as contract labor in several different
agricultural industries, the United States may have
seen a collapse of the agricultural economy due to
the shortage of manpower because of the war (the
majority of able-bodied men were serving in the
military). |
