Download or read book Camp Tyson written by Shannon McFarlin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1941, Paris, Tennessee, became the home of Camp Tyson. The 2,000-acre camp named for Knoxville World War I veteran Brig. Gen. Lawrence Tyson was built by some 800 laborers and consisted of 450 buildings including barracks, a hospital, and a theater. Over the course of World War II, the camp grew to about 6,000 acres in size and served as a training ground for as many as 25,000 servicemen, as well as a POW camp for many Germans and Italian prisoners. At Camp Tyson, soldiers trained to construct, maintain, and operate barrage balloons. These balloons were successfully used to provide anti-aircraft protection during World War I and again in World War II with the help of those trained in Henry County. However, the atomic bomb made barrage balloons obsolete, and after the war, Camp Tyson was decommissioned.

Download or read book As If They Were Ours written by Shannon McFarlin and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camp Tyson was unique and historic because it was the only barrage balloon training facility in the U.S., so soldiers who were there had an experience unlike any other. The Camp also became ingrained in the lives of Henry Countians - most every home in Paris, Tennessee, had a soldier and his family living with them (including the author's) and the camp is credited with modernizing Paris and the county. Camp Tyson was also the home of the all-black 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, which landed on the beaches on D-Day. They were trained at Camp Tyson and their accomplishments have been largely unheralded. Additionally, both Italian and German prisoners of war were held there during and after the war. First-person accounts from white and black soldiers who were at the camp are included. Much of the book is first-person interviews, as well as documents from government sources that have never been published before. 40 photos, footnotes. A Merriam Press World War II History.

Book Synopsis Axis Prisoners of War in Tennessee by : Antonio S. Thompson
Download or read book Axis Prisoners of War in Tennessee written by Antonio S. Thompson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, Axis prisoners of war received arguably better treatment in the U.S. than anywhere else. Bound by the Geneva Convention but also hoping for reciprocal treatment of American POWs, the U.S. sought to humanely house and employ 425,000 Axis prisoners, many in rural communities in the South. This is the first book-length examination of Tennessee's role in the POW program, and how the influx of prisoners affected communities. Towns like Tullahoma transformed into military metropolises. Memphis received millions in defense spending. Paris had a secret barrage balloon base. The wooded Crossville camp housed German and Italian officers. Prisoners worked tobacco, lumber and cotton across the state. Some threatened escape or worse. When the program ended, more than 25,000 POWs lived and worked in Tennessee.
