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.

How were POWs treated in World War 2?
From all I have read, which is extensive, it depends who you are and who you were fighting. US prisoners were relatively well treated as were Germans taken by the US. Exceptions were the German massacre of US prisoners in Malmady, battle of the bulge in 1944-45. The massacre of the Polish officers @ The Katyn Forest in 1940 by the Soviets, long blamed on the Nazis. Prisoners taken by Nazis on the Russian front were treated horribly if they were taken as were German prisoners captured by the Russians. About 5,000 Germans came back to Germany at war's end out of 500,000 taken Japanese were brutal in their treatment of all allied prisoners. Battaan's death march etc. War's do not bring out the best in men!
