Off topic (Norman Liebman can be extremely funny), but isn’t it well established that in WWII the death rate for American POWs in German camps was around four percent, but over thirty percent of our POWs died at the hands of the Japs?

This disparity of course had a lot to do with the fact that hundreds of thousands of German POWs were in American hands at the same time. And the Japs didn’t believe in being taken prisoner in the first place.

As for the German POW’s in our hands - we paid them for the work they did - ours suffered in their factories ...

True on the Japanese - also the Japanese government refused Red Cross food for our POW’s ...
