Great, once again we go from an interesting question to a devolution of commentary about race relations between blacks and white in the American South during the 1940’s. Here is a hint. The topic is complicated and the two issues have little to do with one another. German POW camps in the South treated their prisoners (campers) quite well because no one saw any reason to do otherwise. That positive fact should stand on its own but somehow we get unrelated comments that try to turn it into a negative.
That phenomenon wasn’t unilateral either. The Germans also had some POW camps that were relatively nice for American POW’s. The sitcom Hogan’s Heros was based on that theme. Don’t laugh. That was well within living memory of many people that were quarantined in them and it wasn’t generally considered offensive. However, there were other groups that were treated horrifically (obviously) and it was a crap-shoot even for American or British servicemen which situation they would find themselves in if they were captured.
