	German camps in occupied Poland during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary intention of these camps was the extermination of the Jews from all the countries occupied by the Germans, except the Soviet Union (Soviet Jews were generally killed on the spot).
		A concentration camp (Konzentrationslager, KL or KZ) was a camp which was designed to exploit the labour of prisoners, rather than to exterminate them, although the majority of prisoners eventually died from execution, starvation, disease or exhaustion.
		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.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		When the outcome of war was regarded to be the judgment of heaven, or the vanquished were regarded as being abandoned by the gods, such doctrines were used as justification for the cruel treatment of the defeated.
		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.
		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.

		To have proper expectations of this game, realize there is a difference between prisoner of war camps and the more dramatized concentration camps.
		Regardless, I’m challenged to believe an actual POW camp allowed its prisoners this much freedom, to retain their fine clothing, and that every guard had a smile on his face.
		It’d be an even tenser situation if the guards shot to kill, but they always give Stone the benefit of the doubt – placing him in the cooler or, in the worst case, the infirmary.
