You might also find out that there was no problem in supplying POW camps populated by British and Americans.
There had been occasional interruptions but all was relatively well there till end of the war.
The east was a place where all crazy things happened even though it was least affected by the allied bombings.

Ok you have a point but you failed to mention the Soviet POWs. You see our
Soviet allies stated emphatically "The Soviet Union has no Prisoners of War". Stalin refused to recognize his own troops who surrendered to the
Germans. So Germany. now with close to 5 million Russian troops taken from the field of battle (as POWs) are forced to deal with them without the help of there wonderful government or the benefits of the enormous aid rendered by the international Red Cross. The German fighting forces on the eastern front had more Russian POWs feed than German troops.
And as a footnote the Red Cross was a God send and made a very interesting report that stated the death rate of displace peoples after May 1945. It said the death rate remained steady for a full year after the fall of Berlin. I will find the link to that report if you are interested and post it.
Moreover, the condition of the US and UK troops are proof there was cooperation between fighting nations. Namely Germany England and America
concerning the treatment of POWs.
But if you would read some history you would know that America had penicillin. Which was considered in that day a miracle drug. The US could have shared through the Red Cross that would have saved massive numbers of people. Also the US had the cure for the murderous disease of Typhus. The disease responsible for the greatest amount of death in the concentration camps. Typhus by the way is why the Germans used Zyclon B and needed the disinfectant gas chambers as well as the crematoriums. That is how they attempted to deal with this horrendous epidemic of typhus that raged through the camps.
