German Prisoner of War Camp
In the Spring of 1944 a high fence and four
guard towers transformed a former Civilian
Conservation Corps Camp on this site into
New Hampshire's sole World War II prisoner of
war camp. Approximately 250 German and
Austrian soldiers, most captured in North
Africa and Normandy, lived in Camp Stark
while working in the forest cutting pulpwood
vital to wartime industry. The camp closed in
the spring of 1946 when the prisoners of war
were returned to their homeland. Several
maintained the new friendships they had
formed with local residents. Germans and
Americans attended a reunion her in 1986.
