| | WWII Stalag Luft 3 |
| | Compared to other prisoner of war camps throughout the Axis world, it was a model of civilized internment. | | | The Geneva Convention of 1929 on the treatment of prisoners of war was complied with as much as possible, but it was still war, still prison, and still grim. | | | For the enlisted men, guarding prisoners was probably regarded as better than duty in the East, but for the officers it must have been one of the least desired assignments. |

| | Many prisoners of war from the Soviet Union were also brought to Poland, where most of them died in labour camps. | | | Many of the 400,000 Polish prisoners of war captured by Germans during the 1939 invasion of Poland were also confined in these camps, although many of them were also sent as forced labourers in Germany. | | | The Germans established several camps for prisoners of war (POWs) from the western Allied countries in territory which before 1939 had been part of Poland. |

| | GI -- World War II Commemoration |
| | War crimes can be punished, not only by the organs of the country of which the offender is a citizen--for example, a guard who tortures, or a camp commander who orders the torturing of, prisoners of war will in a civilized country be court-martialed by his own authorities--but also by the enemy. | | | For example, Montesquieu (1689-1755) held that to murder prisoners of war is contrary to all law, and Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) added that they must not be held in dungeons or prisons, or put in iron, but should be placed in healthy conditions and liberated after the end of the war. | | | Although subsequently further refined by various international conventions--for example, the Geneva Prisoner of War Convention of 1929 and the Geneva conventions of 1949--the Hague Regulations of 1907 (as they are called for short) have continued to form the core of the law of war of the 20th century. |

| | Concentration Camp and Ghetto Currency |
| | Concentration camp and Ghetto issues differ from Prisoner of War issues for the main reason that Prisoner of War were for the most part for military prisoners, while concentration camps were primarily for civilians, except for the later part of the war ( after 1943, see below). | | | Italy had one of the most profuse issues of this currency, for there were over 100 combined camps under Italian supervision. | | | Amersfoort, Auschwitz, Bielsk, Brabag, Buchenwald, Dachau, Diedenhofen, Flossenburg, Holleischein, Grine, Gross-Rosen, Haselhorst-Nord, Herzogenbusch, Holleischen, Kaiserwald, Lichtenburg, Litzmannstadt, Mauthausen, Neuengamme, Nordhausen, Oranienburg, Ravensbruck, Sachenhausen, Sokolka, Stutthof, Theresienstadt, Warsaw, and Westerbork. |
