"Band of Brothers" I found this out for the first time, that we most times did not take prisoners in WWII...logistics

You MIGHT want to think about getting your history fromm somewhere other than TV movies. Many other posters that follow you are equally ignorant.

There were tens of thousands of German POW's during WWII. They were kept in camps HERE! Not only did we take prisoners, we shipped them stateside, where they worked as farmhands, factory workers, etc. Some of the most wonderful carvings you will ever see (Nativity scenes, etc.) in Iowa, were done by German prisoners. Incidently, they were treated so well that many of them stayed here and became citizens.

We also let many Germans just "put down their arms" and leave...rather than take them prisoner.

ALL of you who are defending this disgusting S&M display...particularly when you use WWII as an example are sickening. Can you imagine your soldier grandfather forcing a bunch of naked Germans to masturbate while you take pictures? HOW DARE YOU MALIGN THE WWII SOLDIERS BY EVEN BRINGING THEM INTO THE CONVERSATION???? Shame on all of you.....
