According to the Wikipedia article on War Crimes in World War, between 3.3 million and 3.5 million Soviet prisoners of war were killed by the Nazis. (See link).

How were the German prisoners of war treated?
By and large, the U.S. and U.K. treated Germans in compliance with the Geneva Conventions. By and large, the Germans treated U.S. and U.K. prisoners with at least minimal decency, allowed ICRC inspections, mail, and packages.

The Soviet Union in general, treated German POWs and Hungarian prisoners harshly and deprived many of them of adequate rations, medical treatment, minimal comfort, but this corresponded to the cruelty, deprivation, and brutality with which the Germans treated Soviet prisoners. The Soviets killed and imprisoned for years after the war many thousands of Japanese POWs. The Japanese were monstrous, murdering many U.K., Australian, Filipino, and U.S. POWs and a large proportion of the Chinese prisoners they took. The Americans and Australians bombed and strafed many of the by-passed Japanese troops in the South Pacific and other areas. Many starved, turned cannibal and died of disease. The Americans took very few Japanese POWs. The tales told by U.S. Marines are ghastly. The Chinese killed many of the Jaoanese POWs that they took. and and mistrated many of the Japanese pri

What did Germans do with the prisoners so they wouldn't be liberated?
They killed a lot of them, many were shot or starved, but the thing that killed most of the prisoners was the death marches that the prisoners were forced to undertake. This involved the prisoners, who were already worn out and undernourished, to walk hundreds of miles in extremely cold weather, without any protection or warm clothes, and millions of prisoners died that way.
