What are conditions like in Prisoner Of War camps?

Answer 1

Hi there, the conditions in a concentration camp were brutal. you may have herd about the Australians that were in the Japanese camps, if not here's a quick review. Prisoners were given very little food if any and made to walk up and down hills constantly carrying boulders. i once talked to a soldier and he was in a camp bud only for a short time and he told me that they (reffering to the Japanese) put this man in to a tiny little box and closed the lid, once a week they would take him out give him a small amount of water then lock him back in the cage. this may seem harsh but coming from Scotland that is about all i know about Japanese Camps but i do Know more about German Camps. German camps were worse than the Japanese but many people wouldn't agree. The Germans didn't give there prisoners and food they starved them, they also had the gas chamber which more or less looked like a big Shower room the German soldiers cramped so many people in the room you wouldn't be able to move. Once the room was sealed the soldiers opened valves and the gases spilled in to the room killing most that were inside. the captives wore nothing in these camps and if you didn't dye from the torment and brutal inhuman methods of the Germans then you would probably die from neumonia. If you tried to escape then you would be shot on the spot. the Germans also had an exacutional type of thing much like what they still do in some Indonesian countries. have you heard of death by firing squad well it like that, they tied people to posts, then a line of soldiers would take aim and fire. Hitler manly had Jews and people that weren't of Hitler's perfect race he called ARYAN. Hitler thought that the perfect race all had to have no disabilities, blue eyed, blond haired so called perfect people. Hitler also didn't like it when people didn't listen to what he said and told them to do, so if you were a German or in one of the captured countries and German soldiers told you you were to join the German army you had better not disagree cause the soldiers were not going to take no for an answer and would shot you untilldead. if you are interested in this then you might like to read "Ann Franks Diary' or for just pleasure as there is no fact in this book "Hitlers Daughter" hope this helped!!!!!!! <;)
