During World War II, approximately 140,000 American soldiers were captured and became prisoners of war (POWs). The majority of these POWs were held in Europe and the Pacific, facing harsh conditions and difficult treatment. The number of American POWs varied throughout the conflict, with many being liberated as the war came to an end in 1945.
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.
