One false statement regarding the obligations of prisoners of war (POWs) under the Geneva Convention is that POWs are allowed to engage in acts of sabotage against their captors. In reality, the Geneva Convention requires POWs to refrain from hostile acts and prohibits them from directly participating in combat while in captivity. Their primary obligation is to maintain discipline and respect the laws of their captors while being treated humanely.
Yes, there is a medal for prisoners of war (POWs) from World War II. The United States, for example, recognizes the Prisoner of War Medal, which was established in 1985 to honor former POWs who were held captive while serving in the military. This medal acknowledges their sacrifices and suffering during captivity. Many other countries also have similar honors for their POWs from the conflict.
