Yes. I know for a fact that there was a WWII POW Camp in Blissfield, MI. Blissfield is located near the Ohio State line. The war camp was located on what is now Beamer Rd. I actually have pictures of the tents all set up in long rows. The pictures were taken by my Great Grandparents who owned farm land right across the street from the camp.
Please post the photos please.
-------------------------------------------
Another WWII POW camp was in Sparta, a small town north of Grand Rapids. My mom remembers her father (who was the local postman) getting permission for the German prisoners to pick apples for local orchard-owners. Several of the Germans who were kept there returned after the war to visit -- some even settled down in the area.
It's currently a wastewater plant in this area, according to my mom. (I grew up there too, but the camp was long gone by the time I was born in 1958.) I just bought a photo on Ebay of the camp in tent form:
