Kumpel (German for buddy) is the story of one such camp; Otto Becker, a German soldier being held there; and a 15-year-old boy who works alongside the German prisoners on a West Texas cotton farm near the prison. Ottos war has not ended, for each day he must deal with SS Obersturmfhrer Werner von Hoff man and his Nazi followers who have taken over internal control of the camp. Ottos days in the fields with the delightfully nave J.T. Graham (his kumpel) and J.T.s wacky friend, Beu, are a pleasant reprieve from the violence and intrigue that permeate the prison scene.
