Summary
| Description | (Note the wedding ring) From March 1944 until July 1946, Camp Beale, California, now Beale Air Force Base, was home to about 1,000 German prisoners of war. The wooden barracks and guard towers are long gone, but the disciplinary cellblock remains. This low rectangle of cement with iron-barred windows is where one might end up for misbehavior. The 70 year-ago pencil drawings on the walls of the 10 tiny cells are beginning to show the effects of weather, decaying cement and mud wasp nests. Just as those who remember World War II first hand are becoming fewer and fewer by the day, these glimpses into the minds of men who fought it are also slowing fading away. |
