For US Forces, and with the exception of the Malmedy Massacre in 1944; US POW's were treated according to the Geneva Convention/Rules of War. Surrendering in European or American Wars was a traditional acceptance, and considered a "gentlemanly" thing to do...preserving the "lives of their men"...in contrast to fighting to the last man.
