    What happened to the missing English and American POWS that went missing at the end of the war?   The Germans had captured a lot of these Allied soldiers and kept them in camps in Eastern Germany.  The Soviet Army overan these prison camps.  The Allies had a lot of difficulty getting the prisoners to be returned to the West.  There were a lot that went missing.  The German soldiers that returned from the Soviet Union prisoner of war camps reported meeting English and American prisoners in these camps in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

    Let's not forget that the Americans, besides turning German prisoners over to the Soviets, also declared its German prisoners "disarmed enemy combatants" in order to circumvent Geneva Conventions protection of prisoners. Millions were kept in primitive camps until 1948. Hundreds of thousands died in those camps.
