Italian and German POWs.
I also read a thing that said Italians were housed at "Fairwiew, Iowa"
I did not find any other info t confirm this. Fairview is an
unincorporated settlement. Probably either FairFIELD IA, or the IA was
a typo and it was Fairview, LA, just downstream from Natchez.

There were POW camps on Lake of the Woods south of Kenora during the
war too. I am told that they even gave the prisoners guns and let them
go hunting. No worries I guess as these guys had it made in the shade.
No way they wanted to escape and go back to the war. They spent the
rest of the war being treated pretty well.
There was, until only a few years ago, one of the former prisoners who
owned a cottage in the area and came back every summer from Germany.
