POW labor ends as POWs head to Europe for reconstruction
The Army reports POWs in the United States totaling 3,816 Germans and 43,784 Italians, with 5,080 Japanese. More prisoners are due to be shipped to Europe in September. Projections say all POWs in the U S will be home by spring. Prisoners work at bases and in private contracts, earning coupons and 80 cents daily for private labor. They are housed in 150 camps and then shipped aboard transports to Europe.
