Who was the first and last POW of the Vietnam War?
The Vietnam government would have Americans believed that there were no POWs left behind, but indeed there were. Special American Missions (very risky) were sent over to free POWs, but the Vietcong moved them from one place to the other so quickly few were found and most after being tortured or starved probably died. If a few managed to survive they would have either been brain-washed or so use to the conditions in which they lived they stayed in Vietnam. There were a few POWs who made it and they had actually forgotten how to speak English. No one really knows who the last POW was. Both the American and Vietnam Governments cease to admit there are any POWs left. Marcy

Were POWS castrated in Vietnam War?
There is no credible evidence to suggest that POWs were systematically castrated during the Vietnam War. While there were reports of torture and mistreatment of POWs during the conflict, castration was not a documented practice by the North Vietnamese captors. It is important to rely on verified historical records and reputable sources when examining such sensitive and serious allegations.
Why did the US transport German POWs to America during World War 2 instead of keeping them in Europe?
Space and resources such as food and personnel to guard the prisoners was lacking in Europe. On the other hand, German POWs in the US provided useful labor such as picking crops and erecting buildings.
