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.
