The chain of contempt in the prisoner-of-war camps of World War II, not only the Jews were slaughtered, but the fate of the blacks was also tragic
During World War II, Nazi Germany practiced racism, believing the Aryans to be a noble race, and thus there was racial cleansing of the Jews, one of the most notorious atrocities of World War II, in which nearly 6 million Jews died.
But Nazi Germany's racist crimes in World War II went far beyond that, with "scientific and meticulous" standards and harsh extermination policies when discovering people of color other than Jews.
Discrimination against blacks and mestizos was worse than that of Jews, and the killings taken by the Allies were even more brutal when they found prisoners of war of color. And these massacres of black African prisoners of war have deep racial ideas, many of which are private acts that their superiors do not know.
Before World War II, France recruited more than 100,000 black soldiers in colonial countries, basically from Senegal, Niger and Mauritania in Africa. After the outbreak of the war, there were more than 70,000 black soldiers in the French mainland, so in the Franco-German War, the German army often encountered black French soldiers.
For white soldiers, many German soldiers were able to abide by the Geneva Prisoner of War Treaty, give humane treatment, treat blacks with a very bad attitude, and deep-rooted racist ideas made the German army play all kinds of humiliation and teasing against blacks, and even black soldiers who surrendered with their hands held high would not hesitate to kill.
However, most of these massacres were carried out in private, and Germany needed black prisoners of war to play a favorable role in propagating a policy of differentiation as they occupied more of Africa. Later, there were a large number of East Asians and blacks in the foreign servicemen of Nazi Germany.
According to the research statistics of post-war historians, during the Franco-German War in 1940, nearly 10,000 French African soldiers were killed, and 1500-3000 blacks were killed by the German army. The Soviets looked down on Japanese prisoners of war.
After the end of World War II, more than 600,000 Japanese soldiers became prisoners of war, enduring cold and hunger as laborers in Siberia, and many died in harsh conditions. When Japan wanted to return to the prisoners of war, 200,000 people died, and the remaining 400,000 people suffered inhuman mental torture, which shows how miserable the life of Japanese prisoners of war in the Soviet Union was.
Because Germany's massacre of Jews during World War II was too cruel, after the defeat, the Allies treated German prisoners of war in the most brutal way, basically fighting for eyes and tit-for-tat. According to statistics at the time, 400,000 German soldiers were captured by the British, and the British tortured and mistreated 170,000 prisoners of war, produced food for Britain, and accepted the most tiring jobs.
The Jews in England hated the German prisoners of war to the bone, and even formed secret organizations to poison them. Although the police found out in time to stop it, 2,000 prisoners of war were also killed. In Jewish-run prisoner-of-war camps, systematic reprisals were carried out, and nearly 60,000 prisoners of war were tortured to death.
After the war, the Soviet Union was also relatively cruel to prisoners of war, there are official records, 230,000 prisoners of war directly died, the cause of death is strange, historians have found that the number of deaths is more than 1 million people. The first thing the prisoners of war did when they entered the camp was to starve for several days in a row, and after completely losing the ability to resist, starving a group of unlucky ghosts, and collapsing the will of the prisoners of war, they began to work hard.
The United States treated prisoners of war more harshly, with 400,000 prisoners of war in the Axis countries being mistreated by the United States, and the commander-in-chief at the time, Eisenhower, who planned to starve more than 100,000 prisoners of war. He also made a profit of $230 million from the work of prisoners of war. Some people may sympathize with these German prisoners of war, but these are really small witches and deserved compared to the crimes they have committed. According to Nazi concentration camp statistics, the Germans killed up to 3.7 million Soviet prisoners of war. The number of German troops missing in World War II exceeded 1.3 million, perhaps dying in the Soviet Union or other countries, which shows that the cruelty of the war is far from unimaginable.
