    When I was stationed at Fort Sill, we went to a place called Pay Mayes Lake, up near Paris Texas. The area was once a National Guard base, and they had german pow camps located there. All that was left was the foundations. Hope it helps a little. Whatch out for UXO (dud bombs) in the area, because were found them all the time.
