Reply #47: Ironically, the Nazi's treated their POW's very well. [View All]

[Xithras]

Until the reich started to disentegrate in the closing days of the war, the VAST majority of Allied POW's held by the Germans were treated very well. In the Luftwaffe controlled camps for captured Allied airmen, life was downright comfy. Things changed slightly when it became obvious that Germany was about to get trounced, and the Germans had no qualms with executing people caught escaping, but even at that point outright torture was extremely rare.

So you see, what the Bush regime has done to POW's in Gitmo and Abu Ghraib is worse than what the Nazi's did.
