Carl C. Widmaier was individually listed as a civilian enemy-alien internee held at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, in the camp roster observed at 6:00 a.m. on May 1, 1942. The roster documents actual wartime administrative confinement; it does not establish a criminal conviction or a complete custody duration. The roster labels the administrative internment classification “Permanently”; this is not a life sentence or a measurement of time served. May 1, 1942 is the roster observation, not an admission date. Initial admission, actual physical release, and final custody duration are unstated. No ethnicity, ideology, criminal offense or present custody status is inferred.

The official camp correspondence expands the recorded name to Carl Christian Widmaier. The canonical display name is retained; the supported middle name is recorded separately. The March 4 personnel-record list and March 7 report document confinement at Camp McCoy earlier than the May 1 roster observation. The March 7 report is a custody observation, not an intake day.
