Iowa POW camps

["Doug Harding" <dharding@c...>]

A large WWII POW camp was located at Algona, Ia just south of the Minn
border. The German prisoners, worked on area farms, some stayed and
settled after the war. Others were just back for a tour this past month.
The camp was most well known for a large Nativity Scene carved out of
wood by the POW's and still on display in Algona.
