After information has been extracted from the POWs, how were they treated? Information wins wars, and so all sorts of techniques have been developed in order to extract this valuable information from captured enemies. My question is what happened to these POWs after the interrogation, as well as whether promises the captors guaranteed were in fact acted upon? I would guess that in earlier times, more humane forms of interrogation have not been developed yet, and so those who were interrogated upon were simply disposed off after they reveal what they know (do they wait to find out if the information is accurate before they dispose of them?). More modern forms of interrogation like those done during world war 2 between the European countries probably treated their POWs more humanely, so that future POWs will be less guarded and thus more easily reveal their information. How wrong am I?
