Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an often forgotten piece of World War II history that between 1942 and 1946, 425,000 Germany, Italian, and even some Japanese prisoners of war were held at 700 POW camps in 46 U.S. states. All except the Japanese got here on troop transport ships that would have otherwise returned from Europe empty. This is a comprehensive look at one of the overlooked, yet more intriguing aspects of the camps' operations ¿ the money, or ¿chits¿ that the POWs used for discretionary expenses (canteen) in their camps. The camps issued their own ticket-like chits in booklets prepared under contract by private printers. This is the most comprehensive work ever done on the subject. The book contains brief histories for most of the camps, and even some anecdotes. Chits and the booklets they came in are illustrated in color. Prices are given in used and new conditions with a new numbering system devised by the authors. Historical maps, documents, and photographs are interspersed throughout.
