I think of all the Allied countries, German POWs had it best in the UK No murders, no mistreatment, goid food and medical care The Brits did not take revenge on the POWs

Hello, I found this report very interesting I have read about Le Marchant Camp in Wiltshire I am particularly interested in a certain German POW who was held around the Chippenham area I have posted his photo on Wiltshire FB pages and found out that his name was Bert Schrader (Schroeder?) and he’s been recognised because he played football for Calne Town in the 1950s He was engaged to my aunt (they met when she was in the Land Army in Chippenham) but she died from TB in 1956 I would like to find out more about Bert, but I seem to have hit a brick wall now, having contacted Calne Town FC and received no reply, etc So, do you have any idea of how I can find out more about this POW - is there a list to be had of the POWs held in England?brMany thanksbrTeresa

German POWs interacted with the local populace in the Merseyside area Mum told me the German prisoners treated my blond-haired uncle quite differently than her, calling her Juden because of her dark swarthy Welsh looks They were fed better than civilians who had to face hardships

The British POWs paid for the crimes of their own countrymen, who went on massacring the natives of the nations who were ruled by the British empire There are more than hundred worse massacres perpetrated by the British in Indiabr* They killed each and every Indian soldier/fighters who rose against the British during the 1857 War More than 1,000 Indian POWs were hanged from trees on 27 February 1858 in Delhi itselfbr* The British had the fetish to hang people from the trees (banyan 'ficus benghalinis' and peepal 'ficus religiosa') The British have the world-record of hanging 257 Indians from a single banyan tree at Bareilly (UP, India) in 1860 They also hanged 144 Indians from a similar tree in 1857 in Kanpur (UP, India)br* Ajnala (Punjab) Massacre:- Franc Henry Cooper shot 237 sepoys and dumped their bodies in a well in Ajnala on 1 August 1857br*Jallianawala Bagh Massacre:- 1,500 men, women and children shot dead by troops under Maj Gen Dwyer on 13 Apr 1919br* On 28 Dec 1857, at Sunehra village (UP, India), an Indian patriot Baksha Singh and 200 men were hanged from a single bunyan tree Incidently, that tree was planted by the family of Baksha Singh themselvesbrThe list is endless!brSo, stop cribbing and complaining, you people get for what you didthat is the Theory of Karma

I live in California near Beale Air Force Base During the war, it was Camp Beale The remains of a POW camp are still there
Comment from : Kurt Baird

Well since the pows were essentially ethnic brothers to the Anglo-Saxon British and Americans, I would think that they would find some commonality No wonder they didn't want to be with the Russianshardly anything in common plus the consequences they were facing

Comment from : Jeremiah Cruz

The grandfather of a good friend of mine was a PoW in England and he said he and his comrades were treated strict but very well and fair by the English He was so grateful for it and had nothing but much respect and gratitude for England and its people until he died Thank you for treating our soldiers so nice though they were enemies Regards from Germany

Pictures of that I have seen sold the Germans laughing and singing in English and American prisoner of war camps in the German prisoner of war camps the English and American were skinny not as skinny as the Jewish but very skinny anyway and they weren't fed enough although officers did not have to work with their men the Americans and English by the lukewalker will work and things that did not involve war at all which was against the Geneva war convention and they had to be paid and the officers work if they wanted to a lot of times they did with their men even though they didn't officers didn't have to work
Comment from : Daniel Webster

My grandfather (that old nazi) was a POW in Great Britain after being captured a few days after D-Day He always insisted on how humane his treatment in Britain was He didn’t like the food though The POWs often were served mutton, which (as he told) was of low quality, very fatty, tough to eat and something most Germans weren’t accustomed to (mutton wasn’t and isn’t a thing in Germany) That was pretty much his own complaint
Comment from : Ulrich

German POWs were treated brutally by the British Starved, tortured, executed for trivial "crimes"
Comment from : Lorddaver

the 36 m prisoners, were not pow's , very few germans were captured in combat they were mostly people taken after the war for forced labour, so the sick ones were left behind
Comment from : Mark King

3 fatality rate ?? taking prisoners alive was never a real strong point of the brittish the wounded ones must also have been saved a trip to the camps
Comment from : Mark King

If the German POWs wore uniform while working, that could've been a shock to any uniformed locals:br"Wait did we lose?"
Comment from : EdgyShooter

Interesting upward inflection in your voice, don't think I've really heard a British accent with one before

Comment from : Joseph Stokes

That was a great thing to hear about my country, not that I would have expected anything any different really Most of the run of the mill German soldier, sailor and airman wer just the same as us They just wanted a peaceful life, a roof over their heads, and a little money They only did what they were told to do without any actual malice, and anyway they did no more than we did in a time of war I do not include members of the SS and troops who went well above what the rules of war allow

There was a camp in Stark, NH, USA which was only a few miles up the road from Berlin NH Some great stories came out of that
Comment from : Mike M

The world is full of better people than me l would have skinned them alive All the suffering they caused for pure greed we should not forget or forgive watching from Scotland peace and love
Comment from : karma police ok computer

British POWs were treated quite good as well do not forget that in first place there was an attempts to Britain become an Aly to help fight Communism an Brits especially English were considered as a pure race cause their Germanic and Scandinavian ancestry there was also no harm to people on occupied Chanel Islands many people may not like this Fact

Certainly better than the way Germans treated their prisoners Of course, German prisoners were never considered the Final Solution

Won't be long brits will be prisoners for vaxx status Sad times

And new ones being built again and history is about to be repeated 😢
Comment from : Lela 76

The British approach to the prisoners was based on the fact that the next time around they might be allies Interestingly some 500 000 Germans served in his majesty’s forces My dad met some of them out in Burma
Comment from : Simon Normand

Too bad we don't know of Soviet POW camps and their condidtions Seems by most accounts that the Germans didn't at all want to be prisoners of theirs That'd have been more brutally callous Seems they were happy to be alive and treated very well comparitively in British / AMerican camps Even a great deal of them not wanting to return to a devasted Germany
Comment from : Frank Montez

If the British treated their colonial subjects like that, they'd still have an empire
Comment from : aa216

Thank you to countries like Britain Canada and America for the humane treatment of the Germans not all of them were Nazis

It's great that Britain has become a multicultural paradise The war was certainly worth it for them
Comment from : Scott McCann

im very thankful how german POWs were mostly treated by the allies! My grandfather told me how he and many wehrmachts soldiers later in the war were actually very happy when getting into allied prisonship (especially those who werent that ideologycal possesed)
Comment from : Castlenovah

I like how the commonwealth treated pow's so we'll that at a camp in Australia pow's were trusted to work outside and not a single prisoner attempted escape
Comment from : the letter 56

Kinda heartwarming tbh These guys lived through hell They've watched their friends and families get blown up, shot, found their mangled and tortured bodies left to rot The war was over for them, so why not make them feel human again?
Comment from : El Gringus

There was a POW camp just down the road in Otley west Yorkshire and the Prisoner's there went out to work and many of them settled and married here after the war especially the ones whose homes were in the Russian Zone of occupation
Comment from : Daniel Green

The Germans were treated so well that even the Russians wanted to turn themselves in to the British or Americans
Comment from : Bee

Only if they treated the people of their colonies like this
Comment from : Swaraj Kar

When british arrived in the pacific Islands the camps they had for pow were brutal they were cruel
Comment from : Idk?

I remember a German guy and his family coming to visit us for their holiday, in my childhood in the 50's He had been a POW guest in the family immediately after the war
Comment from : the other Andrew

My mum lived in Fleet in HampshirebrThere was an Italian prisoner of war there which is now Fleet pondbrShe said that in the morning the prisoners used to leave the camp and work in the local fieldsbrA lot stayed on after the war so I imagine that they must have been treated reasonably well while POWs

Comment from : Daniel Moran

My great grandfather Francis Williams was a British POW camp guard in the first world war I'm not sure if it was in France or Britain, I think it was France He got on quite well with some of the prisoners and even had his portrait painted by one, signed A Dingelstedt, we still have the painting in my family Some prisoners worked in the metal workshops, supposed to be recycling brass into new shell casings Secretly they sometimes made amazing brass ornaments which they hoped to smuggle out to raise funds to help the German war effort My grandfather confiscated and kept a number of these and I remember playing with them as a small boy: tanks, zeppelins, an artillery gun with a spring that could fire a marble out by pulling back the piston, and a shell or rocket that flipped open to reveal a cigarette lighter
Comment from : C L

Its just so sad that the British treated POWs like this and the axis just extreme torture😥

I agree that we should treat the POW’s humanly, but we still have a HOMELESS PROBLEM Good video, but I’m wondering why we have a lot of the problems that we do today, and why our government won’t fix that

Holy Christ! sort out your inflection

Who cares
Comment from : Carole Nunya

My thoughts about the First Statement of "Knowing how the axis treated POWs" : I know that for racial and ideological reasons the Soviets were treated horribly, horrible maybe even being an understatement Werent French and British POWs treated somewhat alright? I mean i guess in Terms of food it probably got bad in the end but i dont think its appropriate to consider that Well and also there were of course cases in which POWs were shot, however this is again to point out that it was just occasionally (i cant say how frequentl that happened) but it was not a directive from up above like with the Soviets

Comment from : Jeffrey Bresnahan

They looked awful happy I would too it sure beats having to be on the front line getting shot at and you could patronize with the English girls👍😜
Comment from : Mark

I recall a friend of my father's, an ex Luftwaffe pilot who settled in the UK after being shot down during the war He always made us laugh about how he was the only prisoner of war who had his own gun Apparently a local landowner had turned up at the camp asking if there was any one with game keeping experience, he stepped forward and was duly given a shotgun and box of cartridges and sent on his way
Comment from : Spencer Eagle

They also kept prisoners of war happy so they could listen in on the conversations too gather intelligence, Mainly German pilots was listened in on tho, A lot of intelligence was gathered that way, Forgot too mention this
Comment from : MAD-B✌👊

I’d love to see a video on how the allies were treated in Italian POW camps as I’ve never heard a single telling about it
Comment from : TheDgamesD

I wonder if ships carrying POWs were marked so the Germans wouldn’t inadvertently kill their own comrades
