Prisoners Of War Remain But A Memory Now
The former Phillips prisoner of war camp near Salina is now a memory with only the water tower standing amid grazing cattle. Blocks of former barracks lie sunken, and 1943 saw about 4000 enlisted POWs, Germans and Italians, transported here by trains and ships. Italian prisoners sang and pursued education while Nazi leaders were relocated and censorship enforced, yet after 1945 most camps closed and prisoners returned home.
