    Pics of W-SS in U.S. POW Camps?

    It is known that W-SS were kept at some POW camps in the US, but were obviously a small minority compared to Wehrmacht POWs. All the pics I have seen have only been of LW/KM/or Heer at the US POW camps.
    Are there any pics of W-SS in US camps? If so, please post.

    (If this thread has been done before, please link to it, thanks.)

    I had years back a group of a LAH at POW camps in UK wearing something like an english firefighter uniform.

      This is Anton Dunckern, an SS-SD General who was captured at Metz in the Fall of '44. He was first held at Trent Park in England (where the generals were "tapped.") He later ended up at Camp Clinton in the US:

        Bill Petz found this on Ebay--the first pic I have seen of SS uniforms being worn in captivity on US soil.

        (Note the the SS man on the right has a crude, homemade "Das Reich" cufftitle, his original most likely having been stripped by a souvenir-hungry GI).
