April 2024 marks the 69 anniversary of the opening of 16 USA and Allied-built concentration camps. The Rheinwiesenlager, as they were called, were concentration camps, which the Allies sent "disarmed enemy forces" (the name USA called Nazi prisoners to circumvent the Geneva Conventions POW's treatment treaties).
This concentration camps or Prisoner of War Temporary Enclosures were the last in line for food and medical treatment. As a matter of fact, the Red Cross was given permission to monitor the "POWs" at the same time these camps were closing. About 2-3 million Nazi "disarmed enemy forces" were held here. The number of deaths in these USA and Allied-built camps vary by country. The lowest death statistic is 3,000, and the highest is 1 million German Nazi soldiers died in the 16 "Rheinwiesenlager" in 7 months.
