In addition to granting prisoners of war (POWs) certain rights the Geneva Convention obligates POWs to act in certain ways. is FALSE regarding these obligations?
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.

How did World War 2 affect the POWs on the Burma railway?
The POWs that were posted to build the Burma railway endured unimaginable conditions. Starvation was common and many troops died from malnutrition and disease. No medical facilities were available for the soldiers, resulting in thousands of deaths on the railway. The scars which the POWs received would stay with them both physically and mentally forever. They should be treated with the utmost respect and admiration for what they went through. They were lucky to get out at all. I notice that neither of the above answers talks about the brutal way in which the Japanese guards treated the Allied POW's. Beatings were common, and many prisoners were killed by being kicked to death, or by being be-headed with a sword. No limits were placed on the punishment, by the Japanese officers, who considered the POWS to be "unworthy " of respect because they had "surrendered " instead of fighting and dying. A Allied POW held by the Japanese was 9 times more likely to DIE, than if he was a German prisoner of war.

US POWs in Europe were treated with respect and accorded the treatment under the Geneva Convention(s). In the beginning of WW2, US POWs in the Pacific were treated as soldiers that had broken the code of honorable fighting men, and had chosen surrender over fighting to the death. Coupled with the humidity and starving conditions of vast travelling areas of obtaining resupply of food, medical supplies, equipment, etc. living conditions/treatment of US/Allied POWs was extremely harsh; especially when compared to conditions experienced by ETO (European Theater of Operations) POWs.
