Free Lecture - German POWs in SC

Thousands of German prisoners of war were held in South Carolina during World War II. They were unlike Americans held in Germany in a lot of ways. For instance, a lot of them had no interest in going home. Fritz Hamer, the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum’s former curator of history, will tell all about it in a free lecture at noon at the museum on Friday, Nov. 6. The lecture, “German POWS in South Carolina,” is part of the Relic Room’s regular Noon Debrief program, and the public is invited. https://scinvietnam.com/german-pows-werent-like-u-s-counterparts/
