How were Australian prisoners treated compared to the prisoners generally treated in Japanese POW camps?
Australian POWs were treated as appallingly as other whites in Japanese camps. They were used as slave labour.
What did Nazis do with captured enemy?
It generally depended on who was involved. Western European prisoners were treated much better than Eastern European prisoners. Eastern Europeans were most often killed or died of starvation. They were often made into slave laborers. Of the Western European prisoners, the British & Americans were treated better than the French, Belgian, Dutch or Italian (after Italy surrendered to the Allies) prisoners. Normally British & Americans were not killed or treated as slave laborers. The French, Belgian, Dutch & Italians were often sent to slave labor camps, and starved. Of the Germans that held prisoners, the SS were the worse offenders against prisoners, and the Luftwaffe (Air Force) treated their prisoners the best. Also civilian prisoners were treated worse than military prisoners.
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 Germans abused and murdered many Soviet and Serbian prisoners. 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 year did Germanies allies set the people in the concentration camps free?
Germany's allies, known as the axis, did not free the prisoners in camps. The allied armies freed the prisoners.
What is the similarity between Japanese Internment camps and the Nazi Concentration camps?
Japanese internment camps and concentration camps imprisoned citizens during WWII based on racial prejudice and distrust. Although violating their rights as citizens, the US treated the Japanese relatively humanely, whereas the Nazis treated the Jews and other prisoners as animals. The US did not rent out prisoners as labor, perform biological experiments, or deliberately exterminate prisoners. (Guards did kill and injure several Japanese who violated camp boundaries.) Both systems of camps were involuntary yet (at the time) legal restraints on citizens (though not always for foreign nationals). Both designated certain races the government believed to be "undesirable", "inferior" or "disloyal".

It largely depended on who was fighting against who and in which war. For example the Japanese in WW2 treated their POWs abominably, but few indeed became prisoners themselves. The Russians too treated their prisoners terribly. Many Russian prisoners themselves were forced to fight for the Germans.

How did Prisoners of war Post get to their families during World War 2 without the planes or ships being destroyed?
Generally it was transported to & fro (In Europe at least) by the Red Cross. This applies to British & US forces. The Red Cross did much to ensure the safety and survival of hundreds & thousands of prisoners. There is then a vast contrast between on one hand the treatment of German & Italian prisoners held by the Allies & the Russian prisoners of the Nazis and the German prisoners of the Russians & similarly the Japanese Allied prisoners: The conditions were appalling. There were very few Japanese prisoners: Surrender wasn't an option.
