During World War II, the United States generally treated its prisoners of war (POWs) according to the Geneva Conventions, providing them with adequate food, shelter, and medical care. American POWs were often kept in camps that complied with international standards, and the U.S. government took measures to ensure their humane treatment. However, conditions varied depending on the location and circumstances, and there were instances of mistreatment, particularly in the Pacific theater. Overall, the U.S. aimed to uphold its reputation and maintain morale by treating POWs fairly.

The great escape was mass escape of Allied POWs from the WW II German prison camp named Stalag Luft III. This event was made into a book and movie named The Great Escape.
There are two places to search for the rosters of prisoners of war in World War II. One is the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The other is the National Military Records Center in St. Louis, MO.
it is the other way around, the 1940s influenced slangTom, Dick and Harry- a group of unspecified people (POWs in Stalag Luft III named their tunnels Tom, Dick and Harry because they are common American names that would not draw suspicion when talked about the near German officers)
"Caught"? Do you mean Prisoners of War? Do you mean British POWs held in Italy?
the allies did not make Jews label their stores as Jewish, so the POWs would not know that it was a Jewish store.
On Google if havent already tried but I've been searching alot for some in school but i couldn't find any names of them
In the Great Escape of 1944, 76 men successfully broke out of Stalag Luft III, a German POW camp. However, only three of them ultimately made it to freedom. The remaining escapees were recaptured, and many were executed upon their return. The event has since become a symbol of resilience and bravery among POWs during World War II.
Yes, there is a medal for prisoners of war (POWs) from World War II. The United States, for example, recognizes the Prisoner of War Medal, which was established in 1985 to honor former POWs who were held captive while serving in the military. This medal acknowledges their sacrifices and suffering during captivity. Many other countries also have similar honors for their POWs from the conflict.
POW = prisoner of war. they were prisoners and as such didn't really have a leader. there were POWs on both sides
