The Geneva Convention? Gen. Eisenhower ignored them at the end of WWII,
when he declared captured German prisoners of war as "Disarmed Enemy
Forces". Hundreds of thousands were kept in open air enclosures or
pens, with not shelter, food, or medical attention. International Red
Cross personnel were denied entry, food shipments from civilan groups
were refused and returned, local citizens were prohibited from
supplying food on pain of death. Hundreds of thousands (approaching
millions) of these soldiers died in captivity or shipped to Russia as
slave laborers in that coun try's infamous gulags.

In contrast, Allied prisoners in German prison of war camps, were
regularly visited by the Red Cross, who often maintained offices at the
camps. More than 90% of Allied prisoners were released. Millions of
Germans died.

What a legacy. What shame. We should hang our heads.
