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.

The medical world attempted to treat shell shock, now known as PTSD, through various methods during and after World War I.

All three were also employed by the Nazis. The largest reason is: because they can.
