I don't think the British and American forces were entirely clean but in comparison to the Soviets, they were saints. The stories about mass starvation in U.S. run camps for German POWs tend to take the focus away from the mass looting and millions of rapes committed by the Communists. Additionally, over 11 million ethnic Germans were expelled from Poland and Czechoslovakia by the Communist governments imposed on those countries by Stalin. Over a million of the expelled people died, an expulsion that make our Trail of Tears look like a Sunday school picnic.

“The stories about mass starvation in U.S. run camps for German POWs tend to take the focus away from the mass looting and millions of rapes committed by the Communists.”

But regardless it still indeed happen. Because they were treated even worse by the Communists does not negate the fact that it happened.

Yes, the Soviets were cruel to the Germans, but can you really blame them? Compared to what the Nazis did in the Soviet Union, and what they had planned, the Soviets were relatively merciful. The Soviets did not intend to exterminate hundreds of millions of people. Bringing these things up is just another attempt to excuse those Uke Nazi admirers.
