Was the North Africa Campaign really a "War Without Hate"?

by RobWithOneB

I asked this a while ago and the overwhelming preponderance of responses beginning with "my dad says", or "my granddad says", or "my wife's mother's uncle says" resulted in the thread being nuked. So to try again, the North African campaign of the Second World War is sometimes known as the "War Without Hate" owing to how chivalrously the British and Germans supposedly treated each other. Is this borne out by documentary evidence, for example, statistics of how often MPs had to intervene to prevent war crimes or PTSD rates among veterans?
