Follow the extraordinary journey of German and Italian POWs held in Minnesota during WWII. This is a Pioneer PBS documentary film about the forgotten history of twenty-one POW labor camps located in Minnesota during WWII by way of a major POW camp in Algona, Iowa. One of those camps was in the outskirts of New Ulm. Now called the Flandrau Group Camp, it is the only camp of those 21 that still stands. Explore the stories of these communities coming to bumpy terms with the enemy not only on their soil but tilling it, during an extraordinary time in Minnesota’s history and the world’s. We invite you to view this important part of New Ulm’s history and learn about the local connection to World War II.
