Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the Records of the Office of the Provost Marshal General (Record Group 389) and located a series titled Subject Files, 1942 - 1946 which includes four file units that pertain to Camp Jackson or Fort Jackson while it served as an enemy POW camp during WWII. The records include minimal information about individual POWs. For access and copies of these file units, please contact the National Archives in College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
The personnel records of World War II German prisoners of war were returned to Germany. For access to these records, please write to the Deutsche Dienstelle (WASt), Eichborndamm 179, 13403 Berlin, Germany. The web site is https://www.dd-wast.de/en/home.html.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
