And to Australia. There was a TV series made about it called The Dunera Boys.

I can only imagine its a similar case, here in Australia, which led to indigeneity to be supressed out of fear of economic and violent oppression.

Thanks for sharing

Different place. AS is in NH. All informed historians consider it a hoax, but they've sold tickets for maybe a century now.

They actually did have dances at Manzanar. http://www.discovernikkei.org/en/nikkeialbum/items/1630/

I don't believe you do. In the UK you get the value of your finds, but in Sweden I'm fairly certain they use a few factors to determine the award and it is usually quite small (in comparison to the value of the find if it's precious metals). I'd have to check into it again; I had researched it a few years ago when I was visiting and was thinking of bringing my detector. Quickly learned I couldn't.

my great grandfather surrendered to British forces and was taken to britan as a POW, in Scotland specifically, and he was allowed to go to a local village, and after the war he worked on the railways, I don't really know that much about him, but he apparently never returned to Germany,

No. It wasn’t a numbers game. It was a knowledge game.

They were “snatching” up as much technical knowledge as possible. But then again, the German scientists and engineers didn’t need to be snatched…they were actively trying to be “captured” by American and British forces before the Soviets could (literally) snatch them.

With the difference that the US government recognizes the treatment of the Japanese in the US, has apologized and is paying reparations. (Well all is not golden, they still rejected Jewish refugees before and during the war).

The same cannot be said about the UK.

I wonder how Canada was on that front.

FWIW, my dad guarded Herman Göring during the Nazi trials in Nuremberg. He had the same complaint.

Different Axis PoWs were kept in different camps and whilst they all were scheduled to work on farms, they were kept separate and not allowed to mix...

Except, of course, when they did by mistake... Sauce - my dad got a bollocking for simultaneously accepting both German and Italian PoWs for work detail on his farm.

The reason he's got a statue is that he played during the era of no substitutions and so played through a broken neck while winning the FA Cup for City.

“All of them were hung” hey man, I’m getting a very different mental image than what you intend

Will look into it. I learnt about segregation in the US armed forces from watching Ken Burns' The War.

Yes, we all know about it. It was the obvious and rational choice that had to be made.

Its nicely said in the book Modernism and the Holocaust. Hitler wanted Jews out of Germany so the first thing they tried was to ask surrounding countries and of course nobody wanted them, then they planned sending them all to Madagascar (not joking) and once that failed there was only one option left to satisfy Hitlers goal and the rest is history.

I find it ironic that there was a POW camp in the US near Hutchinson Naval Air Base. I was told it held German pilots and air crew. My Dad was stationed there in '39 or '40 before being shipped to Pearl Harbor. Many of the locals were of German ancestry but had nothing to do with the POWs.
