B Going on a foggy memory, framed by spider webs, Blair, were there not internment camps for non aggressive aliens during the early war years? Not in the USA. Only after Pearl Harbour. Upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor, (07 Dec 1941) Presidential Proclamations 2525 (Japanese), 2526 (German) and 2527 (Italian) were signed. Many homes were raided using information from the CDI, and hundreds of aliens were in custody by the end of the day, including Germans and Italians (although war was not declared on Germany or Italy until December 11). Presidential Proclamation 2537 was issued on January 14, 1942, requiring aliens to report any change of address, employment or name to the FBI. Enemy aliens were not allowed to enter restricted areas. Violators of these regulations were subject to "arrest, detention and internment for the duration of the war." Blair |

Well then, you do have a mystery on your hands. Not really. Up until Pearl Harbour, the USA was neutral and would help prisoners on either side. Blair |
