World War II Prisoners of War 7 December 1941 - 19 November 1946

Description:
This database contains information on approximately 140,000 U.S. military officers and soldiers as well as U.S. and some Allied civilians who were prisoners of war and internees.

Records of prisoners of the Japanese who died also document whether the prisoner was on a Japanese ship that sank or if he or she died during transport from the Philippine Islands to Japan. There are no records for some prisoners of war whose names appear in the lists or cables transmitted to the Office of the Provost Marshal General by the International Committee of the Red Cross. It has to be accepted that many might have died as prisoners of the Japanese for whom there are no records.

The information contained is as follows:

· Name of Prisoner or internee
· Serial number
· Grade or Rank
· Report Date
· Race
· State of Residence
· Service Branch
· Arm or Service
· Theater of War
· Report Source
· Detaining Country
· Camp (prisoner of war or civilian internee camp site)
· Status
· Report Source

Please note that not all of this information may be available for every individual.
