We got some very fine citizens out of Hitler's Army, and German and Italian internees who were so unlucky as to be ashore in the US when the war started. I grew up within walking distance of a camp where they had been interned, and played in one of the guard houses after my Dad acquired it in an auction.

I met one German Army vet who was a Boy Scout Leader, and a good one.

I corresponded with someone on SI whose ancestor was a Hessian soldier in the War of Independence. Most of them were unable to return to their homeland and became settlers in the new nation. I've forgotten just who that SIer was and would love to be reminded of his identity.
