During World War II, Camp Concordia at Concordia (Cloud County), Kansas was one of many prisoner of war camps within the United States which housed captured German soldiers. The camp at Concordia was in operation from 1943 to 1945. It was the first and largest Kansas prisoner of war camp, designed to hold over 4,000 prisoners, and included a hospital, water tower, and guard tower. In 1945, a broad curriculum of camp-approved study courses, taught by German-speaking instructors, was offered by the University of Kansas to prisoners at Camp Concordia.
