There's also a relatively new book out of Texas A & M called Lone Star
Stalag that should be of interest:


 http://www.tamu.edu/upress/BOOKS/2004/waters.htm




             Lone Star Stalag
             German Prisoners of War at Camp Hearne
             Michael R. Waters
             With Mark Long, William Dickens, Sam Sweitz, Anna Lee Presley,
             Ian Buvit, Michelle Raisor, Bryan Mason, Hilary Standish, and
             Norbert Dannhaeuser
             Foreword by Willi Nellessen

             Drawing on newspaper accounts and official records from the
             time, an archaeological study of the site, and the
             recollections of surviving POWs, guards, and local residents,
             Waters and his team have constructed a detailed description of
             life in the camp: educational opportunities, recreation, mail
             call, religious practices, work details, and the food
             provided. Also revealed are the more serious issues that faced
             Americans inside the POW compounds: illegal alcohol
             distillation,suicides, escapes, hidden secret shortwave
             radios, and the subversion of postal services. Artifacts
             recovered from the site and from the collections of local
             residents add concrete details. Waters also
             discusses the national policies and motivations for the
             treatment of prisoners that prescribed the particulars of camp
             life.
