Of course they did which is a good reason for not adopting their
methods, even if the captain was a Nazi, which is unproven
he was still entitled to be treated as per the Geneva convention.

The other poster said he was complaining about rough treatment and having
been
"demonized" by American personnel stuffed full of anti-Nazi propaganda. He
didn't mention that he wasn't treated as per the Geneva convention. Do you
have
information that he wasn't?


rough treatment would appear to contravene the Geneva Convention

Quote
Art 13. Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful
act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously
endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited,
and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In
particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to
medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the
medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried
out in his interest.

Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly
against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public
curiosity.

I am not sure that receiving a fat lip after one gets sassy with your POW
guard
violates the convention, or would call for an inquiry even.

It does and would just as as a civil prison officer giving a fat lip to a
sassy
inmate woukd be illegal and call for an inquiry.
