The POW Camp Concordia in Concordia, KS, was a World War II internment camp for German POWs, housing over 4,000 prisoners at its peak. Strategically located in the heartland of America, the camp allowed prisoners to work on local farms, resulting in minimal escapes and deaths.
Hastily constructed in 1943, the camp comprised more than 300 buildings, including a hospital, post office, restaurants, fire department, and barracks, with a total cost of $1,808,806. Today, the POW Camp Concordia Museum preserves the history of the camp, offering visitors a glimpse into this significant chapter of American wartime history.
