The regular German Army were fairly decent in treating prisoners. The German SS Army were brutal.

It is interesting to note that some 30% plus prisoners died in Japanese Prison camps whereas only 2% did in Germany. Appparently Germans made a better attempt to follow the Geneva Convention than the Japanese did.

Tell that to the former Polish and Soviet POWs (oh you can't they killed them all).
