Part of Lists of Prisoner-of-War Camps section in the Prisoner-of-war camp article.
In the United States, at the end of WWII there were 175 Branch Camps serving 511 Area Camps containing over 425,000 prisoners of war. The camps were located all over the US but were mostly in the South because of the expense of heating the barracks. Eventually, every state except Nevada, North Dakota, and Vermont had POW camps.
The following list is an attempt to create a complete list ofPOW Camps in the United States during WWII.{| border="1" cellpadding="2"!Camp!Location|-|Camp Albuquerque|New Mexico|-|Camp Algoma|Idaho|-|Camp Algona|Iowa|-|Camp Aliceville|Alabama|-|Camp Allen|Norfolk, Virginia|-|Camp Alva|Oklahoma|-|Camp Angel Island|California|-|Camp Ashby|Virginia|-|Camp Ashford|West Virginia|-|Camp Atlanta|Nebraska|-|Camp Atterbury|Indiana|-|Camp AuTrain|Michigan, AuTrain|-||Camp Barkeley|Texas|-|Camp Bastrop
