Generally well, they were also kept in camps, most famously in Yorkshire, Scotland and Canada.

At the end of the war it was different, Eisenhower decreed that the POWs could not be given a single calorie more that the minimum advised for survival, they ended up eating grass (or anything) much like the victims of the concentration camps, with over a million soldiers dieing as a result.

Soviet treatment was arguably worse, many POWs were never released, countless others had to endure years, even decades of forced labour.
