A buddy of mine who is somewhat older tells me that in his youth he worked at a bush logging camp for awhile (he was about 10 yrs. old) during the latter part of WW 11 and his dad was the bull cook. The camp housed a crew of German POWs. He said they were treated as regular crew. They were no guards or such. He said that they were far in the bush and the prospects of escaping were dubious and they would still be on the wrong continent. He said that they weren't about to run away because their situation was good and they were plenty happy to be out of the foray and await the end of the war. Many years after some would come back and visit the old site of the camp and visit some of the people who they befriended. Apparently they were friendly and good workers and mingled with no problems. He remembers many a checkers game with them on cold winter nights. The camp is about 20 miles from where I live now. My chum loves to tell the story of when he was a little kid how his Dad traded him for a pig, but that's another story. :o)
