Oral History interviews from Douglas County residents describe living in Douglas, Wyoming during WWII, the building of the Douglas POW Camp, and the reaction and feelings of Douglas residents to having a Prisoner of War Camp that house Italian and then German Prisoners of War during WWII.  The fourteen Oral Histories were conducted by Mark Junge as part of the Wyoming State Parks-POW Camp Interviews.  The Oral Histories are primary source documents that provide listeners a window into the community of Douglas during WWII and discuss how the Italian and German POW’s were perceived by the communities they were interned in and shows how even during wartime enemies can become friends and cross political and cultural boundaries.  The Oral Histories presented here are provided courtesy of the Wyoming State Archives.
