Were there a huge amount of American POW in the first place?
USA only invaded Germany once the war was basically over

>fought the Germans in Africa
>fought the Germans in Italy
>fought the Germans in France
plenty of opportunities

Germans probably never had the opportunity to since they mostly fought Americans in the later stages of the war. Most POWs would have been British or Commonwealth.

Slightly less than 100,000.

WW2 was huge in scale, don't forget. And IIRC, most of those would be bomber pilots on craft that were shot down but didn't lead to full crew fatalities. A B-17 carried a crew of ten, a B-24 a crew of 11, and there were pretty significant losses among the heavy bombers. taphilo.com/history/8thaf/8aflosses.shtml

Obviously, not all of them, would yield prisoners, but a lot would.

doubt it.
im pretty sure the germans respected the geneva treaties with the western allies?

Not that I can recall. Seems something that would be pretty rare just due to the general circumstances involved.

Might take me awhile to dig up the exact numbers, but yes there were quite a few American POWs in German hands. American, British, and French POWs had about a 2-4% mortality rate in German camps.

Part of the reason was that all of the above signed the 1929 Geneva Convention. USSR abstained from doing so. Secondly, German POWs in Anglo-American hands were treated exceptionally well experiencing less than a 1% mortality rate in American camps. Lots of neat stories of German POWs in American camps. So there was a mutual respect that was developed throughout the war that was essentially: you treat our guys good, and we'll treat yours good. This certainly benefited American POWs in German hands as the war fell apart for Germany in 1945. With Western POWs basically being better fed and taken care of than the average civilian.

Now, American, French, and British prisoners did have to do agricultural labor. Germans did too, but were compensated a bit better in the states because America was better fitted to provide more luxuries (and a small wage.)Between Canada, the UK, and the US around 60 million care packages reached Western POWs in German camps.

None of this applies to the Soviet-German POW relationship, of course.

Read Hitler's Army by Bartov.

Highly unlikely. Western-POW's were treated fairly humane, and were in contact with the Red Cross.
Also, why would they? American POW's could be useful bargaining chips. The worst treatment the Western Allies might face, was when bombers went down over Germany and the crews being lynched by locals, while the officials either looked away or encouraged it.

Let me guess, they died while being roller coaster'd into a dragon's mouth while being masturbated and turned into lamp shades?
I heard it was real in someone's mind.

>USA only invaded Germany once the war was basically over

stop being retarded

Well technically he IS correct

Hes literally not you retard. America was fighting Germany in North Africa in 1942, then Italy in 43, then France in 44, THEN invaded Germany in 45.

>european education

Yes
Everytime a bunch of US soldiers were captured, the local SS strumfuhrer would line them up and check their penis
Circumcized ones would be gassed on the spot (or sent to Auschwitz if the German unit was running out of gas)

Technically as in they technically invaded Germany proper in 1945 you mong

>Hitler ordered the battle to be carried out with a brutality more common on the Eastern Front, in order to frighten the enemy.[2] Sepp Dietrich confirmed this during the war crimes trial after the war ended.[4] According to one source, during the briefings before the operation, Peiper stated that no quarter was to be granted, no prisoners taken, and no pity shown towards Belgian civilians.[4]

Fucktard

Is it just me or the officer seems to be Otto Skorzeny?

benis inspection day?

Why? Just because they have Mensuur scars?

Idk, scar, face shape, nose, sunken sockets, also real Skorzeny could had that hairstyle too

Was going to get this game for the campaign until I seen this.

I knew that this game would turn out shit and I was right.

It's probably intentional

being a German PoW wasn't a huge problem as long as you weren't a Soviet, before there were typhus epidemics in all the camps at least

Maybe in the earlier years, not so much in the last 6 months of the war.

So all US POWs wer "gassed on the spot"? Damn.

Yes, every "survivor" is a liar

Holy shit it's a game screenshot. I just thought they looked funky.

did PoW camps not have the typhus problems that the concentration camps did?

Not really, I'm sure there were a few outbreaks but they were contained and didn't kill even 1000s of them

I stand corrected then
I suppose typhus is easier to treat when you actually give a enough of a fuck to stop it from spreading

What's your image from?

>>Circumcized ones would be gassed on the spot
>but....that would be all of them

Most American men weren't circumcised, only the few Jews and even fewer Muslims in the U.S. were, the practice didn't become common in the U.S. until after WWII, when the large number of Jewish doctors in the U.S. began encouraging it for debatable health reasons but in reality, it was to prevent the easy identification of Jews in the U.S. in the event a pogrom happened here.

No, there was almost no abuse of western prisoners. You can read the transcripts at Nuremberg. They couldnt get anyone, even int he kangaroo court, but they tried.

new call of duty trailer desu

How is fighting germans in africa the same thing as invading germany? Is this bait?

My great grandparents had German POWs as hired labor in rural Florida during the war.

Uh... no. Circumcision became common because of (christian) men like John Harvey Kellogg aggressively advocating it for cleanliness and anti-masturbation reasons.

Not always.
Oflags were awful even by standards of the war.

No, while some non-Jewish/Muslim American health nuts chose to get circumcised, the practice wasn't common until after WWII.

European-Americans had been misled into thinking Germany was an enemy of theirs, they were fighting for Jewish interests unbeknownst to themselves. They had nothing to gain from the war and were treated as such.
Jews fighting in the American army fully understood they were fighting against an anti-Jewish government which had destroyed any Jewish power and influence in Europe. Many Jews like Oppenheimer were also closet communists secretly cheering on the Soviets while helping the Amerians build nuclear weapons to use on the Germans- which in a twist of fate their plans were quashed.

Americans started getting circumcised in the early 1900s because they believed it would stop boys from jerking off. Its a stupid and backwards practiced of child genital mutilation and needs to end

Germany literally started the war (together with the Soviets). Can't whitewash something like this.

>European-Americans had been misled into thinking Germany was an enemy of theirs
Daily reminder that Hitler declared war on the United States.

oh look, another stormfag poster spouting retarded made up jpeg tier """"history""""" as if its going to fool a bunch of history nerds! This will totally work!

What? The UK declared war on Germany first, as did France.
>But Germany invaded Poland and they had guaranteed an alliance to maintain Poland sovereignity.
Blaming Germany has always been the sign of the entry level educated.
Poland invaded the Czechs alongside Germany and partitioned a massive area- where was the outrage aimed at them? Where was the declaration of was against the USSR?
>inb4 evil Germany
The USSR had already committed war crimes Churchill was aware of.

...

Hitler attacked Poland as a response to the Anglo-Polish treaty from April 1939. He should know better. Great Britain, France and Poland formed what you can call the first alliance. Sure they should've intervened but they were right to declare war.

>Poland invaded the Czechs alongside Germany and partitioned a massive area- where was the outrage aimed at them?
You're refering to Zaolzie which was basically specks of land with large Polish population so Poland took it to protect them (Poles who were left behind in the Soviet Union were later exterminated so no one should put their faith in totalitarian regimes).
The action wasn't a result of any Polish-German alliance or pact but between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Both countries argued for these towns since 1919 when Czechoslovakia invaded them before the suggested plebiscite killing many civilians in the process.
It took time to mend the relations but it was achieved somewhat in the 30s. During WWII Poland and Czechoslovakia cooperated closer.
If you think that border disputes from post-WWI period are morally equivalent to an aggressive war which resulted in acts of genocide you are wrong.

He probably took it from that pro-communist report from some Russian tv that was posted the other day.

>Americans started getting circumcised

Exactly, it wasn't standard medical procedure like it became after WWII.

>concentration camps

No such thing. You're thinking of transit camps. The only concentration camps in WWII were the ones Eisenhower set up in the Rheinland.

Pretty sure I know what happened in my neighborhood in the past.

No, you don't. You weren't even born then, all you see is the culmination of 70 years of Jewish disinfo

This. Jews died, but none died for being Jews. Hitler strictly targeted communists, but since Communism was by every definition a Jewish movement, millions of them perished. It's not a genocide though, all the Jews had to do was not being communists and they would have survived.

We have the stories. Shameful, scary, sad, uplifting, written as memoirs or told to us by family members.

>We have the (((stories))). Shameful, scary, sad, uplifting, written as memoirs or told to us by family members.

FTFY. Most of what we """know""" about Germany during WW2 is Soviet propaganda.

If you live far away and think that only Germans and Soviets lived there back then or that eastern front was about things like Stalingrad and Kursk then probably you just don't get it.

>you just don't get it
Literally not an argument. I need proof.

What kind of proof? Death in concentrtion camps was a natural part of life under occupation. Certain programs were intended to end in physical elimination.
If we stick with just the German side the first one to be eliminated were the elite: university professors, the clergy, officers, politicians and even olympic athletes.
Studying history you don't negate everything. Primary sources, photographs, documents, stories etc are how we get historical facts. When something is so overwhelming that it would be unreasonable to assume that everything is a part of giant conspiracy in which several millions take part in. Otherwise we get moon hoaxters or people who think that there's no Civil War in Syria because they only saw it on TV.
If we negate on the sources on the Nazi crimes people who survived would have to fake their stories (some of them extremely embarassing) for the rest of their lives even as they were oppressed in Israel for the first 20 years of this country's existence (and other countries would have to be in on it including Japan and China), all photos, buildings, recordings, documents would have to be faked and people who died... I don't know we have their photos and biographies, so maybe this would have to be faked as well. Testimonies of free nazis like Wisliceny would have to be faked as well.

a few were singled out and sent to labor camps...Krauts also mistakenly sent some Hispanic pows there too thinking they were jewish:
npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4672288

What would make them think Hispanics were Jews?

Hi Ivan

Krauts are retarded

Except that it was

>Blaming Germany has always been the sign of the entry level educated.

no, its a sign that someone has at least a basic level of education you stormfag.

>Poland invaded the Czechs alongside Germany and partitioned a massive area- where was the outrage aimed at them?

nice goal post moving sophistry. How does this somehow justify Germanys invasion of Poland, when that whole thing with Czechoslovakia was caused by Germany in the first place?

you faggots are a cult.

pretty much. don't think they really cared that much either.

Were you there?

All Jews had to do was not be communists... what a crock of shit. Don't forget, the Nuremberg Laws made Jews non-citizens, and therefore no longer protected by the rule of law. Marriages between non-Jews and Jews were unilaterally annulled by the state. Sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews were outlawed. Businesses were allowed and encouraged to refuse employment and service to Jews. Jews were not allowed to wear or display the German flag. Jews were forced to carry identification papers identifying themselves as Jews at all times. Jews were barred from voting in elections. And the cherry on top, Hitler himself insisted time and again that the problem with Jews was racial, ie. in the blood, not ideological.
To say that Jews could have saved themselves by professing a love of Germany and denouncing Communism, is completely ahistorical and retarded. You're just stating your fantasies as fact, without any historical basis.

Answer me this then, you useful fool. If there was an industrial genocide committed against the Jews, why are there still Jews? How did German Jews survive, if it really happened? /r/holocaust has definitively debunked the Holohoax.
> Hitler himself insisted time and again that the problem with Jews was racial, ie. in the blood, not ideological.
No he didn't. It was because they were destroying Germany and has stabbed them in the back multiple times.

that state atheist autism occurred after WW2 you retarded fuck

This is honestly shameless. Those "Christian children dead in Jewish Communist Gulag" is literally a picture of Jewish children who were massacred in a Russian pogrom in 1905. It's literally the first photo on
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_responses_to_the_anti-Jewish_pogroms_in_the_Russian_Empire
It was one of the photos that brought attention the atrocities being committed against Jews. Stormfags like you are so pathetic you will post dead Jewish children, lie and say they are Christians and hope we don't know where that photo comes from.

>The only concentration camps in WWII were the ones Eisenhower set up in the Rheinland.
Quite literally a myth. The claim, that 1 million German prisoners of war, rather than upto 56,000 (the highest estimate accepted by historians) dying in US captivity after World War II, were "casually genocided" in Eisenhower's rhine meadow camps ("Rheinwiesenlager") is a claim put forth by James Bacque in his book "Other Losses". But who is James Bacque? A philosophy major (!) from the University of Toronto, who also seems to hold a Bachelor's degree in history. Fair enough, but what did the man proceed to do with his bachelor's history degree for the next few decades after earning it? You guessed it, nothing. Bacque instead proceeded to become a fiction writer and essayist before finally turning his attention in 1989, to the fate of German soldiers held as POWs by the Allies after World War II. He then wrote this book, and is now hailed by the far right (not necessarily holocaust deniers, but Wehrmacht fanboys and those who spend great amounts of time trying to track down every war crime committed by the allies) as some kind of investigative journalist exposing the deliberate "casual" mass murder of upto 1 million German POWs by Eisenhower and subordinates. 1 million....sound familiar? The official Auschwitz death toll is 1.1 to 1.5 million. The intent is clear: creating an allied Auschwitz.

yeah. Got also fooled for a sec.
To stay on topic, most likley no. It was a huge timewaster to send jewish american to the camps. As already mention beforehand, both the krauts and yanks had signed the Genève convention of 1929.

To also piss of the yanks more at this point, was idiotic.

That's a lot of horse shit in one post.

False.
Most of what we know about Germany during WW2 is from their own records and from people who were their.

You haven't even provided proof for your own """arguments""". All you've done is go on about DE JEWZ and MUH COMMUNISM, you thick cunt.

>But who is James Bacque? A philosophy major (!) from the University of Toronto
& humanities strikes again

After Kursk there was no way for the Germans to win the war

given that Britain and France had already committed themselves to war with a European superpower and Poland was all but overrun, it would have made little sense to declare war on the largest nation on the planet on top of that as well. A bit like committing to challenging a 6 foot bully to a fist-fight but realizing there's an 8 foot bully nearby beating someone else up as well. In the end, when that bully got attacked by this bully, he was considered a friend until the first bully was brought down. Then a cold war ensued with the surviving bully.

The only legitimate question then, is how Britain and France would have acted, had the opposite been the case: the Soviet Union invading Poland first, and Nazi Germany two weeks later. Would their defense treaty have included guaranteeing Poland's safety from a Soviet attack? The answer is no: there was a legal loop-hole that meant the treaty was mostly tailored to respond to German aggression. The idea of the Soviet Union invading Poland, and nothing happening as a result, and then Hitler invading to take back Danzig, and having Britain and France declare war on him wouldn't have sat well with post-war morality. Good thing for the victors then, that Hitler turned out to be an ideological warmonger after all, and Stalin the cold opportunist, rather than the other way round.

>The USSR had already committed war crimes Churchill was aware of.
You fucking idiot. Churchill was not in power when Hitler went to war with Poland.

Yeah as the front was collapsing in front of the allied zergrush the average german officer totally took time off to march them to trainyards and do this

Protip OP, this atrocity propaganda bullcrap is about as accurate as the whole black female nazis thing the (((devs))) of this shitfest got going on

What's it like to be this insane?

You're both full of shit, Britain and France intended to attack the USSR with a strategic bombing campaign for invading Poland, Germany invading France out an end to the plan. Weird how history turns out.

See Operation Pike.

You are aware how taking PoWs work, right? You're not arresting them when they're in your country and sending them to the local jail.

People also forget that Great Britain and France already decided that they're not going to honor their alliance and help Poland on September 12th in Abbeville. A French town that will be liberated by Polish panzer division in 1944.
Soviets invaded 5 days later so Brits were like eh whatever sucks to be them.
