Ferguson further claims that... the British were also less likely to hand German prisoners over to the Soviet Union.[114] Large numbers of German prisoners were transferred between the Allies. The U.S gave 765,000 to France, 76,000 to Benelux countries, and 200,000 to the Soviet Union. The U.S. also chose to refuse to accept the surrender of German troops attempting to surrender in Saxony and Bohemia. These soldiers were instead handed over to the Soviet Union.[115]

"However, Ferguson states that "the mortality rate for German POW's in U.S. hands was more than 4 times higher than the rate for those who surrendered to the British", but that the United States total mortality rate was under 1% and better than every other country in World War II except for the British."

@BENNYSIEGEL90 my point wasn't that any particular individuals or nation is more cruel or as cruel as any other, but that all mankind can be extremely cruel in times of war

@meronmotors

Certainly not by jewish or polish american servicemen. Brits also seemed to have had a hobby beating them up on their spare time.

@JuliusGulius

Do you even know that barely any greater russians were bolsheviks. The communist had biggest support in Belarus, Poland and Ukraine. How can you even think that as muscovite or Saint Petersburg native was as cruel and primitive as some jewish rag salesman from Grodno or ukrainian potato farmer from Kiev.

@meronmotors also look up pielelu beach landing HD I had a top comment on there for a couple months crediting your country for its patriotism, I have nothing against Americans and I'm sorry if you took offense, I wasn't trying to point fingers but just to explain that all mankind is cruel in times of war and to deny this is ignorant
