A San Antonio article recalls World War II Texas POW camps, notably Dodd Field, where about 2,976 prisoners worked local farms, earning 80 cents daily in canteen coupons while farmers paid the government prevailing wages. Camps were run by Americans, not German cadres, fostering a “country club” atmosphere that eventually softened guards and prisoners alike.
