The treatment of German POWs (prisoners of war) varied depending on their captors. The Soviet Union used most of its German POWs for hard labour, and many of them perished. Many others were kept till 1955 as bargaining counters. On the whole Britain treated German POWs well. Obviously, there were times when a sudden advance led to a large number of soldiers being taken prisoner at the same time. which often caused practical problems.
Very few soldiers (including SS men) were put on trial.

∙ 12y agoThey treated the prisoners terribly. They were beaten just for looking at them the wrong way and were not aloud to speak. If they did then they would have terrible consequences, which usually was beating or death. The soldiers had the privilege to shoot anyone without an explanation. Many soldiers abused this rule.
