Well, to start with, both Germany and the US subscribed to the Geneva convention, and honored it as to each other. Would you have preferred for the Germans to have treated American prisoners as they did Soviet prisoners, since Stalin never signed the Convention?

Would you have preferred for US prisoners to be treated by the Germans as they were by the Japanese?

Have you ever read the Geneva Convention of 1929?

“Belligerents shall see that prisoners of war dying in captivity are honorably buried and that the graves bear all due information, are respected and properly maintained. “
