Biography
The March 3, 1942 Sixth Corps Area report individually names Johannes George Grossfuss among six civilian enemy-alien internees accepted at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, on January 25, 1942 from Detroit. The February 27 Camp McCoy personnel-record transmittal names the same group. January 25 is a confirmed arrival at this camp after earlier custody elsewhere, not the original arrest or first detention day. The record concerns wartime civilian administrative confinement. No criminal conviction, ethnicity, citizenship or political affiliation is inferred. Exact initial detention, final release and completed custody duration remain unverified. Administrative descriptions of permanent internment are not treated as life sentences.
