POW Camp Concordia was a World War II internment camp located in Concordia, Kansas, that housed over 4,000 German POWs from May 1, 1943, to November 8, 1945. Built hastily in the spring of 1943, the camp featured more than 300 structures, including barracks, a hospital, and dining facilities, and only experienced two escapes and eight deaths during its operation.

Strategically situated in the heartland of America, the camp enabled the employment of prisoners on local farms. The total cost of constructing Camp Concordia was $1,808,806, reflecting its significant role during the wartime period.
