By Nolan Briggs, ClickNNY Fort Drum Desk
A community submission points to a reported history feature about German prisoners of war held at Pine Camp, the former name of the U.S. Army installation now known as Fort Drum.
The submission provided a link to the outside report and requested an original story based on primary-source research. The historical details, including the number of prisoners, dates and conditions of their confinement, still require verification before publication.
