German Soldiers Conscripted As East Texas Loggers

A friend of mine told me about an editorial in the Mount Pleasant newspaper concerning the conscription of captured German soldiers working as loggers during WW II. I contacted the paper and kindly enough the editor sent me a pdf of the piece. It is titled "Nazis in East Texas." The author Bob Bowman tells some interesting stories about the lives of these POWs. Furthermore, he says that they get little mention in history. He does, however, name a book entitled Nazis in the Pineywods by Mark Choate. Sounds like an interesting read.
