otoh, the criminal acts of the "filth in blue uniforms" at PLPOWC, Hellmira & Camp Douglas (the 3 MAIN DEATH CAMPS)were INTENTIONAL, premeditated, war crimes.
rape, sexual assaults, torture, denial of medical attention, denial of sufficient food, denial of shelter & coldblooded MURDER were COMMONPLACE.
a letter order from a union officer at PLPOWC states that any guard shooting or bayoneting a prisoner "without cause shall be fined the sum of ONE DOLLAR"!!! (emphasis MINE)

Yes, the damnyankees perfected the art of cruelty and murder.
