The War continued for all of 1944 and people were weary and anxious for the troops to come home.
Here in Maine the Army opened a POW Camp for German men who had been captured, it was located in Houlton in Aroostook County. There was a labor shortage on the large potato farms and the prisoners were put to work, for which they were paid a stipend to use a the camp commissary.
