Produktinformationen zu „Death at Papago Park POW Camp (ePub)“
This WWII true crime history reveals a shocking story of murder inside an Arizona POW camp-and the U.S. military's controversial response.
Though Arizona was far from any theater of battle during World War II, the grim realities of combat were brought home with the construction of POW camps. Located outside Phoenix, Camp Papago Park became famous for its prisoners' attempted escape through the Faustball Tunnel, but it also had a dark reputation of violence among its prisoners.
One casualty was Werner Drechsler, a prisoner who supplied German secrets to U.S. Navy authorities. Nazis held at Papago Park labeled him a traitor and hanged him from a bathroom rafter. Controversy erupted over whether the killing was an act of war or murder. Some also questioned the lack of protection Drechsler received for aiding in espionage. Ultimately, seven POWs were hanged for the crime. Author Jane Eppinga examines the tangled details and implications of America's last mass execution.
