Odd.

None of the Volga-German members of my family tree got sent to camps after they came to the USA circa 1915.

Seems they fared MUCH better than those who stayed behind and were sent to Siberia and Kazakhstan during the Bolchevik exercises in ethnic cleansing.

How do you explain that?

Germans and their offspring in the Upper Midwest (Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc) didn’t suffer much as they tended to be a majority most places.

The article discussed how many had minimal problems.

Did you not read it?
