A large number of German prisoners that were transfered to the US and Canada stayed. They were treated very well.

Our pilots were treated very well in Germany mostly because of the fat guy. If he did nothing else good he made sure our captured pilots were treated well.

But you have to remember the Germans were regular people, the people we fight these days are animals and are not like us. They will drag our soilders through the streets if given the chance, like in Africa. Our weak point is we are not willing to kill enough of them so they don't do that.
