AbstractThis description and listing of the James R. Ruchti POW Collection, at Indiana University - South Bend, Schurz Library Special Collections, provides a historical background of the collection (by Scott Opasik) and a brief biography of Ruchti, as well as the bibliography of the collection. Ruchti graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1943, and joined the U.S. Army. In 1945 he was assigned to the German POW Special Projects Division at Fort Getty, Jamestown, Rhode Island, where he served as instructor of American and German history and director of the Library. This library's mission was to support the German POW re-education programs at Fort Getty and Fort Wetherill, Rhode Island and Fort Eustis, Virginia.
