Read Download
For 18 months during World War II, the Canadian military interned 1,145 prisoners of war in Red Rock, Ontario . "Camp R" held an unlikely assortment of German prisoners: Nazis, anti-Nazis, Jews, soldiers, merchant seamen, and refugees whom Britain feared might comprise Hitler's rumoured "fifth column" of alien enemies residing within the Commonwealth. For the first time and in riveting detail, the author illuminates the conditions of one of Canada's forgotten POW camps. Through interviews and meticulous archival research, Zimmermann fleshes out this rich history. Written in an accessible, lively style, this book will captivate military and political historians as well as non-specialists interested in the history of POWs and internment in Canada.
