    Here is a link to Farm Security Administration-Office of War Information Collection of black and white photos. An old timer told me about it last night so I thought I’d check it out. These are from alogging camp in Effie Minnesota. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/fsahtml/fahome.html

    Great pictures. Do you know if these men were POW’s?

    Rick, all,

    They use to run Nazi POW camps out here in the woods doing thinning and TSI work. There are a couple of places where you can see old Nazi Swhastikas (sp?) carved into aspen. The old stories say they were decent woodsmen and seldom tried to make a run for it. Probably too scared of the vast wide open area we had here at the time. I’m sure the old guards told them more than one ‘griz’ or ‘big cat’ story… 😉
