The Germans typically treated American POWs well (that term being relative), especially in the Stalags run by the Luftwaffe. However, if a US soldier happened to be Jewish or Black, that was a quite different story.
The Japanese reasoning for mistreating POWs as explained to me by a Japanese officer of the WW II era is something like this:
The only thing that separates men from animals is a sense of honor. When one surrenders, one gives up his honor. Therefore, one ceases to be a man and is no better than an animal.
They'd have been really screwed if we felt the same way....
