Prisoners as patients: Homosexuality and same-sex desire in German prisoner of war camps in the United States during World War II (360G-Wellcome-094010_Z_10_Z)
The project will study the experience of German soldiers who were caught in sexual activities with other prisoners while in captivity in the United States during World War II. The U.S. Army considered these prisoners 'sexual psychopaths' and ordered that they should be transferred to hospitals for treatment if deemed 'reclaimable'. Nothing has so far been written about these prisoners and little is known about their experience. The key goal of this project is to change that by locating primary sources dealing with this little known chapter of World War II history and by publishing the results in a journal article.
