I find this website about POW is really great,and it has some cool pictures. Prisoner of war can also says enemy prisoner of war(EPW). Between WWII, the death of POWs were 6 million to 10 million. Germany and Italy treated their prisoner from the British Commonwealth, France, the U.S. The prisoners almost have no food. Fortunately, the Red Cross gives the food packages. German didn't do the same thing to the non- western prisoners. About 1 million prisoners released during the war.------------------------------------------------------
This website has whole history about POW, so I choose some part to discuss. The prisoner of war are combatants who imprison in the enemy power. The international law defines that it is a person captured while the fighting for millitary. The difference of German treated to soviet red army troops is take prisoners with neglect. The Nazi goverment thought Soviet Red Army is a lower racial order. As a result, there were hundred and thousands of POWs in Soviet died.-----------------------------------------------------------
This video is about POW, it's little bit funny as There's all artificial man. However, you'll enjoy it!

At first when I saw the photo on your blog, I was shocked considerably. Many naked and emaciated people standing in rows. We can see their ribs clearly. The soviet soldiers in the concentration camp were treated awfully. They didn't do any crime. They just went on the war field to fight, forcing by the government. However, you didn't put on a video about the POWs. Otherwise, you did a really good job in reading these two websites.
Interesting video indeed. You did a great job with the websites as well, truly. This is one of you better posts in a long time. You seem to have read the websites and learned a great deal, as I could tell from your comment on your classmate's blog as well. A+
I can't think of anything when I saw the picture of prisoners. I was so frightening that I couldn't believe they were human. There is many pictures in this:
