German POWs Got Red Cross Chocolate While British Children Had Rationing

German POWs in Britain often braced for hardship, but what surprised many was how well they were treated — even compared to some British civilians. Under the Geneva Conventions, prisoners received Red Cross parcels packed with food, cigarettes, and chocolate. Meanwhile, British families were still living under strict wartime rationing, with sweets especially scarce for children. The sight of enemy soldiers receiving treats that local kids couldn’t get caused quiet resentment — but it also showed Britain’s commitment to upholding international law, even in war. Ironically, POWs were sometimes better fed than the people who had endured years of bombing and blackout nights.
