Camp Clinton was a World War II prisoner of war facility located in Clinton, Mississippi, just off present-day McRaven Road, east of Springridge Road. Camp Clinton was home to 3,000 German and Italian POWs, most of whom had been captured in Africa and were members of the Afrika Korps. The prisoners at Camp Clinton provided labor to build the Mississippi River Basin Model, a one-square-mile working replica model of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which the United States Army Corps of Engineers used for planning flood control projects.

has abstract	Camp Clinton was a World War II prisoner of war facility located in Clinton, Mississippi, just off present-day McRaven Road, east of Springridge Road. Camp Clinton was home to 3,000 German and Italian POWs, most of whom had been captured in Africa and were members of the Afrika Korps. The prisoners at Camp Clinton provided labor to build the Mississippi River Basin Model, a one-square-mile working replica model of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which the United States Army Corps of Engineers used for planning flood control projects. Camp Clinton also housed several dozen German generals and admirals, including Afrika Korps commander Hans-Jürgen von Arnim, Wehrmacht general Ferdinand Neuling, and Dietrich von Choltitz, the last wartime Governor of Paris, who surrendered to the Free French. (en) Le camp Clinton était un camp de prisonniers de guerre de la Seconde Guerre mondiale situé dans le Mississippi, à Clinton, à une douzaine de kilomètres à l'ouest de Jackson, capitale et principale ville de cet état du sud des États-Unis. Le camp abritait 3 000 prisonniers de guerre allemands, dont la plupart avaient été capturés en Afrique du Nord, appartenant à l'Afrika Korps. Il fonctionna de 1943 à mars 1946. Les prisonniers du camp Clinton fournirent de la main-d'œuvre pour construire à proximité le (en), une réplique miniature d'un 1,8 km2 du fleuve Mississippi (situé une cinquantaine de kilomètres à l'ouest) et de ses affluents, que l'United States Army Corps of Engineers utilisa pour planifier des projets de lutte contre les inondations . Le camp Clinton était l'un des quatre grands camps de prisonniers du Mississippi avec le Camp McCain (7700 prisonniers) près de Grenada, le camp Como (3800) dans le northern Delta et camp Shelby (5400) près d'Hattiesburg Mais il était le seul à accueillir des militaires de haut rang. Ainsi 25 généraux et amiraux allemands ont été internés au camp Clinton, dont le commandant de l'Afrika Korps Hans-Jürgen von Arnim, les généraux de la Wehrmacht Ferdinand Neuling, Willibald Borowietz (qui s'y suicida), Botho Henning Elster ainsi que Dietrich von Choltitz, dernier gouverneur militaire allemand de Paris, qui s'était rendu aux soldats de la France libre.
