Good read HMCS !
Early war POWS were treated very well by the Germans at least according to the Versailles treaty. Great respect to each other untill the pows tried something stupid like breaking out. Numorous accounts confirm that from both sides. Especially in Africa pows were treated very good by both sides. Read a book about Dutch pows "Sack with flees". The Dutch had the highest acount of pow out breakings, hence the title of the book. Still they recieved alot of respect from the Germans.
Offcours when the war ended the Germans had less and less reources to treat the pows and the respect slowly deteriated. Being a western allied pow wasnt necesarially bad, as Russian pow this was a bit different as the Germans (SS) didnt recognize the Russians as a human race.
Still you cant expext as pow to end up in a holiday camp in a total war
