well you open the door when you imply that Detmers and his crew were somehow mistreated when even a cursory review of the historical record shows they were treated very correctly as were all German prisoners who were held by the Commonwealth authorities.
what irks me everytime is when I see stories that minimise German atrocities in WW2 or somehow equate that the US/Commonwealth committed excesses on the same scale as the Nazis. Germany in WW2 committed monstrous atrocities. The western allies also made mistakes.
Q: Were the two on the same level? A: not even close.

of course not.
p.s. - the wikipedia article you quoted on the treatment of POWs by the Western Allies above is grossly distorted. I dont know who wrote it, but obviously someone with an axe to grind.
