“Detailed official” lists of people of German ethnicity ordered interned—include name, date and location of birth, address when taken, next of kin and their address, occupation, and place of internment as of a specific date. Most of these internees were from the U.S., but some Hawaiian and Latin American residents are included. (These are not comprehensive lists of all internees.) For ease of viewing, we’ve broken the lists into segments, by file folders. These are large files and take time to download. Compiled by the Provost Marshal General’s Office, War Department. All are found in NARA, RG 59, State Dept, Special War Problems Division, entry A1 1357, Subject Files 1939-55, Box 199.
