Minden, Nebraska - German POW Urinal The sign above the urinal indicates it was salvaged from a WWII prisoner camp in Atlanta, Nebraska. A quick glance at a map of central Nebraska will show you that Atlanta, Nebraska, isn't too far from Minden, Nebraska -- home of tourist icon Harold Warp's Pioneer Village. The urinals are located in the adjacent Pioneer Village Campground.
I don't believe this particular item has been mentioned either on your site or in the Pioneer Village official brochure. Surely this is a courtesy to the campers. If such a treasure were advertised, their bathroom would be overrun with bathroom fixture historians and curiosity seekers.
Note the excellent condition of the fixtures. As I stood before the urinals, I didn't know whether to feel slightly amused or humbled, knowing that men who had suffered greatly, enemies though they may have been, had been there before me. [Jason Bayne, 11/23/2003]
