On the other hand, the behavior of the Allies towards prisoners was quite different from that of the Germans. Wherever the US military goes, if it encounters a large-scale surrender, the number of prisoners who survive at one time is relatively large (often in company units), and basically not too many prisoners will be killed. But there are also great uncertainties. Whether to kill prisoners or how many prisoners depends on the mood of the soldiers guarding them. If the American troops guarding the prisoners are unhappy, they will kill several people who are not pleasing to the eye. But if you are happy, you will also give cigarettes to German prisoners of war. On the contrary, if a small number of Germans surrender, they will usually be executed on the spot or brought back for execution. American troops often feel that being followed by several German soldiers is a burden. The Soviet Union is more cruel than the American army. Generally speaking, even the following are carried out immediately or brought back. Therefore, an interesting phenomenon appeared at the beginning of World War II: the Germans would rather surrender to the Western Allied Forces than to the Soviet Union. It can be seen that the actions of the allied forces and the Soviet Union are also treating the enemy. Why are they so different from Germans? Of course, we can also see the quality differences between ethnic groups.
