Allied POWs

Allied POWs (Prisoners of War) are military personnel from countries aligned against the Axis powers during conflicts like World War II who were captured and held in enemy prison camps. They are protected under international laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, which set standards for their treatment and rights. POWs may be used for forced labor, held for exchange, or detained until hostilities end. Their treatment varies widely depending on the captor and circumstances, but the goal of international agreements is to ensure humane treatment and prevent abuse.
