- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about foreign prisoners of war in Georgia. During times of war, Georgia military installations have served as internment camps for enemies taken prisoner, as well as for aliens residing in the United States whose activities were viewed as suspect by the federal government. These prisoners were, at the least, topics of interest for native Georgians; at the most, they contributed significantly to the state's economy, especially during World War II (1941-45).
