Behind Barbed Wire
Midwest POWs in Nazi Germany
The American Heartland has unique connections to the World War II European-Theater prisoner of war (POW) experience. Despite the richness of this legacy, virtually no one is aware of the role Midwest soldiers played in it. Behind Barbed Wire illustrates this history through narrative texts, multi-media and artifacts. This exhibit is housed in the BUS- eum, an old school bus converted into a traveling museum for all ages.
