Epilogue.For 18 months during World War II, the Canadian military interned 1,145 prisoners of war in Red Rock, Ontario (about 100 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay). "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, The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior will captivate military and political historians as well as non-specialists interested in the history of POWs and internment in Canada.Provided by publisher.World War, 1939-1945Prisoners and prisons, CanadianPrisoner-of-war campsOntarioRed RockPrisoners of warGermanyHistory20th centuryPrisoners of warCanadaHistory20th centuryRed Rock (Ont.)History20th centuryCanadian History/Military History/World War II.World War, 1939-1945Prisoners and prisons, Canadian.Prisoner-of-war campsPrisoners of warHistoryPrisoners of warHistory940.54/7271312Zimmermann Ernest Robert1931-2008,1678926Beaulieu Michel S.Ratz David K(David Karl),1965-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822033603321The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior4046862UNINA
