Description:
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Harper and Row Publishers, 1988. First Edition Stated . Hard Back. Fine/Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 230 pages. First Printing. Story of German POWs working in a turkey processing plant in Nowell South Dakota. A tragic story pervaded by irony centered aorund the conflict between Mose Johnson, the well-intentioned but driven foreman of the Safebuy plant, and the Hauptmann, the classic type of Prussian officer, who suffers war injuries but controls his fellow prisoners and organizes their work and life with a much stronger hand than does Johnson. Production quickly increases for frozen and canned turkey for American servicemen. But the improvements produce a vicious spiral of increased quotas that drastically worsen working conditions. A struggle of wills that ends badly.
