Japanese-American and POW internment camp of WWII, Tulelake, California. POWs were 150 Italians & 800 Germans. Only four buildings remain at this site. There were actually two separate camps, this one near Tulelake and a much larger one at Newell, a few miles southeast. The Newell camp was high-security and was the largest Japanese-American internment camp in the USA. Read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulelake_camp
If you go to the Location, click on Satellite and use Street View to see the camp.

Japanese-American and POW internment camp of WWII, Tulelake, California. POWs were 150 Italian & 800 German. There were two separate Camp Tulelake sites, this one near the town of Tulelake and one at the town of Newell, a few miles southeast. This site was very cushy compared to the harsh conditions at Newell, which was high-security. (See link for more info) The Newell site became the largest Japanese-American internment camp in the USA.
