The cages, have no walls and the prisoners are, thus, exposed to the climate. ______________________________________________________ Nakano comments: It has happened before. There was no media coverage of the conditions in which former German soldiers were kept after Germany surrendered in World War 2. The conditions were horrific! More than 700,000 former German soldiers were rounded-up and herded into barbedwire compounds. These no buildings or shelters to protect them from the weather. They were provided a bare subsistence of food. I have personally talked to former U.S. Army soldiers who served as guards at one of these prison compounds. They confirmed that the conditions were barbaric. One told me he often smuggled food to the prisoners because some were dying of exposure and lack of enough food. He said that technically these germans were not prisoners of war, since the war had ended. With this as an excuse, Eisenhower didn't have to provide the level of treatment required by the Geneva Treaty for the treatment of POWs. It is a very sad and brutal chapter of American History that is almost unknown. Nakano
