Nazi POWs in the Tar Heel State / Robert D. Billinger Jr.
"North Carolina had a unique relationship with prisoners of World War II. The first German soldiers captured by American forces, U-boat men, were interned at Fort Bragg. Camp Butner was used to house POWs who claimed to be nationals of Allied states." "Using interviews with former prisoners and their guards, Red Cross and U.S. military reports, German-language camp newspapers, local print media, letters, memoirs, and other archival sources, Robert Billinger chronicles the German POW experience in North Carolina during the war."--Book jacket.
