During the many "death marches" that took place in Europe during World War II, especially in its final months, prisoners did not generally receive satisfactory food-provisions of any kind. From their captors, they might receive a small portion of bread, perhaps unsavory soup, perhaps a handful of low-quality vegetables. They would sometimes be given sustenance (eggs, bread, milk, fruit) by sympathetic observers from villages and towns. Sometimes they might be able to forage for themselves from the fields and forests through which they were marched.

What food was given to prisoners of war in world war 2 on there release to help them back to normality?

I'm afraid that only one word in that question makes it mean something else. You said IN world war II. In the war, food wasn't issued to the prisoners very often at all, nor were they ever released. Well, you could get release via death. But afterwards, the prisoners were liberated, and, for those who survived long enough to get treatment, a LOT of food was issued to them to try to save their lives.
