do not feed the DEF's at a higher scale than German civilians. There is no doubt this is true, and should be. Why feed captured soldiers better than the German civilians? I am sure that some prisoners were mistreated, and probably some SS were killed. The Occupation troops were mainly soldiers who had just been fighting the Germans, and there was hatred there. I would bet we did a better job of it than any other occupation troops. There is no way now of every knowing for sure.

Treatment of German PoW: I didn't study the subject but personally I never heard anything bad about treatment in the USA or GB whereas I have three relatives who were in Russia for years, one of them for more than a decade. They were kept in Gulag-like conditions, it was a miracle that they survived and returned. It took them a long time after returning to adapt to civilized life again. One of my grand uncles told me he was unable to sleep in a bed or eat normal food in normal quantities for many months.
