Drama about a POW camp in northern Iowa during WW2
In 1944, Camp Algona is established, which would end up housing around 10,000 Axis prisoners. Work programs for inmates supplemented the depleted workforce in America, such as the local Hormel factory, and included harvesting crops, such as at the Tietz farm. Meanwhile the Germans are working on a secret project that is unveiled to the populace at Christmas.
“Silent Night in Algona” (2022) works as a lowkey drama about one of over 400 such camps in America. Don’t expect explosions or over-the-top thrills. The ‘action’ is the believable tensions of the time period and situation. Everything wraps up for an effective close and relevant details, but you have to be in the mood for a period drama to appreciate it.
Brunette beauty Christina Loeffler is notable in a small role on the feminine front.
It runs 2 hours, 18 minutes, and was shot in north-central Iowa in Whittemore, which is just west of Algona, and Forest City, which is northeast of there. Algona is 135 miles north of Des Moines, 175 miles southwest of Minneapolis and 275 miles northwest of Davenport.
GRADE: B/B-
