Another reason was, as I remember, that Britain was under severe rationing and food shortages, and couldn't afford to keep them.

There was also a POW camp for, I presume, German prisoners of war, in
West Alabama, in a little town called Aliceville, A few years ago the
town held a reunion and many of the former internees returned.
