I read an article about this in the New York TImes Magazine section quite a while ago. In this, POWs with Jewish names were sent to concentration camps. Imagine the horror...

“The official U.S. stance...”
The official stance was wide in the bathroom stall.....
PC liberal idiocy from pantywaist bureaucrats is nothing new, I guess......

Has any enemy of the United States ever conformed to the Geneva Conventions? I suspect not, which begs the question as to why we are a signatory and continue to feel bound by them?
We have seen such incredible barbarism by Muslims against Americans that I cannot, for the life of me, think how anyone can seriously invoke the Geneva Conventions in criticizing how the US has handled enemy combatants.
And slowly it comes out that NO enemy of the US has EVER felt constrained by the conventions.

"We were still negotiating certain things with the Germans," How much leverage could the Germans have had, considering they had no Army and the alternative was the Russians?

When members of the German Air Force – or Luftwaffe – arrive to inspect the damage, Americans push a shy, German-speaking waist-gunner out to plead their case. Flier-to-flier. Airman-to-airman.
Soon an inquiry is launched. And then, four days before their planned execution, the airmen are put on trains to POW camps.I heard Air Force guys say that if shot down, you hoped the military found you before the citizens did as they would take out their helplessness on the airmen, usually killing them.

I read years ago about U.S airmen worked to death at Mauthausen.
