In my eleven years in Germany, I met any number of older German men who had been POW's in the United States. They all spoke very fondly of their experience. I suppose it beat the sh!t out of fighting on the front lines.
OTOH, I met any number of older German men who fought the Americans in WWII and weren't captured. Their memories weren't so fond. I guess you don't recognize the humanity of your enemy when they're raining artillery down on your head from the next valley.
