German POW camp was at Fort McClellan AL. There is a very nice POW cemetery
there that is visited by German families.

Reportedly a German POW camp located near the massive U.S.
Army Sioux Ordinance Depot approximately 20 miles from Sidney,
Nebraska. When WW2 started the installation provided hundreds of
earthen bomb storage bunkers dotting the prairie, in addition to a
vast complex of warehouses that were used throughout WW2, Korea and
Vietnam. In 1967, most of the complex was turned over to area
farmers/ranchers and a community college (where I received my A&P
mechanic certificate in 1983).
