This question was triggered after reading about the 34 men who were taken prisoner after their escape from Hiryu after the battle of Midway 1942. Where there any camps for Japanese prisoners of war in the US during WWII? If so, how did they compare with the P.O.W. camps for German prisoners? Were Japanese prisoners allowed the same privileges and are there any surviving accounts of their imprisonment?
