What was the purpose of british prison ships?

British prison ships were a common form of internment in Britain and elsewhere in the 18th and 19th centuries. Charles F. Campbell writes that around 40 ships of the British Navy were converted for use as prison hulks. One was established at Gibraltar, others at Bermuda, at Antigua, and off Brooklyn in Wallabout Bay and Sheerness. Other hulks were anchored off Woolwich, Portsmouth, Chatham, Deptford, and Plymouth[3]. Private companies owned and operated the hulks holding prisoners bound for penal transportation. Prison ships were also used to detain prisoners-of-war during the revolutionary wars and the Napoleonic wars. ( Wikipedia ).


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.

Is flanders field based on the battle of ypres?

Not exclusively. The British Army always held the northernmost end of the Allied line in France, and at the extreme northern end a tiny slice of Belgium. The British generally held from 50-70 miles of the trenches, which were in the part of France called Flanders. So just about all British troops killed in the war died in some part of Flanders.
