简言之,法国和美英(包括殖民地的加、澳、巴勒斯坦)战俘待遇一般和普通战俘相同。(与之相反,苏军和波军中的犹太人待遇参考灭绝营。)
但是,在战争后期,希姆莱曾命令战俘营将犹太战俘分开关押,以防他们的反德情绪影响其他战俘。一般的德国士兵,会出于被灌输的种族仇恨,虐待甚至杀害犹太战俘,但这并非德三官方政策。
再给德三几年寿命,犹太战俘的待遇是否会逐渐变坏,也是很难设想的。因为在战争后期已经出现了分开关押的美国犹太战俘被送往集中营苦役致死的情况。(Berga camp)
(Jewish and Soviet prisoners of war), two hundred thousand Jewish soldiers of the various Allied armies and more than five million Soviet soldiers taken prisoner by the Germans during World War II. The Jewish POWs were treated differently based on which army they belonged to.
Jewish soldiers from the armies of Western countries, including the United States, France, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and its Jewish units from Palestine, were generally treated the same as any other POWs from those countries. The policy was very different for Jews serving in the Polish and Soviet armies. About 65,000 Polish-Jewish soldiers were taken prisoner by the Germans. The Germans separated out the Jewish prisoners; they tortured them, gave them meager food rations, and made them do hard labor. By mid- 1940, 25,000 Jewish prisoners of war had perished. Prisoners of war from the German-occupied territories of Poland were sent to ghettos, where they shared the fate of the rest of the Jews there. Jews from the Soviet-occupied parts of Poland were sent to camps in the Lublin district, where no more than a few hundred survived. About 85,000 Jewish soldiers from the Soviet army were taken prisoner; all of them were killed by the Germans, no matter what rank.
