In Germany Canadians were treated fairly well, POWs were segregated by service. Officers were held in camps operated by their German counterparts. In Italy the camps were generally more relaxed than the Germans. In 1943 when Italy surrendered POWs were mostly taken to North America. The Japanese situation was very different they did not sign the Geneva Conventions. They believed that surrendering meant you were weak and it was a soldiers duty to die in battle.
