Description 1 online resource (xxxiii, 346 pages) Summary "For 18 months during World War II, the Canadian military interned 1,145 prisoners of war in Red Rock, Ontario (about 100 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay). "Camp R" held an unlikely assortment of German prisoners: Nazis, anti-Nazis, Jews, soldiers, merchant seamen, and refugees whom Britain feared might comprise Hitler's rumoured "fifth column" of alien enemies residing within the Commonwealth. For the first time and in riveting detail, the author illuminates the conditions of one of Canada's forgotten POW camps. Through interviews and meticulous archival research, Zimmermann fleshes out this rich history. Written in an accessible, lively style, The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior will captivate military and political historians as well as non-specialists interested in the history of POWs and internment in Canada"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Camp R (Prisoner of war camp) Prisoner-of-war camps -- Ontario -- Red Rock Prisoners of war -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Prisoners of war -- Germany -- History -- 20th century.
