How did the soldiers treat the prisoners during the Holocaust?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Set them free.

Not all were set free some 100 of thousands were used in rebuilding France and worked in french coal mines as part of the Reparations others were used by the British and Americans as Labourers to cleanup the mess in Germany the Russians did the same and of the 90 thousand German soldiers captured by the Russians at Stalingrad only about 5000 survived to return to Germany

Answer 3

They 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.
