Best Answer

Often through malnutrition and Infectious Diseases, Russian soldiers in German camps - and vice versa - and Allied soldiers in Japanese camps much more so than British and American soldiers in German camps. German prisoners of war were often shipped to the US and put to work there on farms and in factories.
