The aerial reconnaissance photo above shows the Dazhi area in 1945.  Although I do not have any official documents with the information on the coordinates of POW Camp #6, I am quite confident that the compound in the center was the camp.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen in the enlarged photo below, the compound was surrounded by walls and the buildings look a lot like barracks to me.  Since there were no other places similar to a POW camp in the first photo, the compound must be POW Camp #6.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/taiwanairpower.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/pow_2.jpg\" alt=\"Taihoku POW Camp #6\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I overlaid the recon photo on Google Earth and obtained the following image.
