#1  DID YOU KNOW there were POW camps in Georgia after WW II? Camp Wheeler near Macon held nearly 2,00 captives. By the end of the war, there were five other camps in Georgia where 4,700 POWs were held. Prisoners were given food, housing, uniforms, classes and even paid a small wage. A friend told me he remembered his father hiring POWs to work on their farm.
