UK Mother and I decided to take a 90 minute drive to Hearne Texas to day and see the remnants of a German P.O.W. camp. Camp Hearne was built in 1943 when large elements of the afrika korps surrendered in Tunisia. The idea was that soldiers captured in an extremely hot environment should be housed in another hot environment.. Enter southeast Texas.. At its peak, Camp Hearne housed 4800 soldiers of the Afrika Corps. Some Italian prisioners were there for a very short time but then transferred to an all Italian camp. The inside exhibit was fascinating to say the least and had one theme in common… The prisoners had a lot of time on their hands!.. Have several photos to upload. Hope you guys enjoy.
