German POWS were also held in Wells Mn, where they helped in pea and corn harvesting for the local canning company and also worked on many area farms. The Wells Depot Museum has individual stories from several of these families.
I'm disappointed there isn't more from or about the POWs that spent a year (sometimes more, sometimes less) among us. But as Mckenna pointed out, it was sort of a hush-hush thing. So glad Wells has done more than most communities. Hooray for capturing these stories!
