there were at least two prison camps in northern Maine (that I know of) one was Seboomook a prison logging camp where P.O.W's of Rommel's Afrika Corp where sent! The other was camp Houlton which was an Army Airbase and housed over a 1000 prisoners. I have seen the remains of camp houlton which is where houlton industrial park is today. There is nothing there but one ww2 era air traffic control tower. Mostly the prisoners, harvested trees, picked potatoes, worked on road crews. They were fed,clothed and in some instances paid for work (though very little) also some prisoners took extension and correspondence courses. Many did not return to Germany after the war but staid in Maine and became farmers or wood cutters.
