The personal narratives of 14 German prisoners of war housed at Camp Cooke, California, during World War II recounting the ordinary soldiers' captures, journeys to America, and the daily life and organization of the camp. Although the prisoners filled labor positions left vacant by Americans serving in Europe, the main purpose of the camp was to "denazify" the soldiers, and the interviews reflect a transformation in political consciousness as well as documenting the German POW experience in America.
