You must live in a fantasy world. Over 400,000 German soldiers were
held in American POW camps, plus a similar number of Italians and a
smaller number of Japanese. You either believe that none held U.S.
citizenship or that enemy soldiers captured on the battlefield who
turned out to be Americans were told "Go forth and sin no more!"


Then you should have absolutely no problem providing us with either a
list of those "citizens" or at the very least a cite from some
reputable entity quantifying these Americans.


You can cite me.


not until you provide reputable facts






No POW ever had access to American civilian courts.


My comment was addressed to the issue of Japanese in internment camps


Agreed. But you also said:

"There were absolutely zero POW camps that held American Citizens in the USA
during WW2.


I stand by that: by definition any American Citizen who served in an enemy
military and held in an American POW camp would be guilty of Treason. Since
there were no indictments or trials for Treason during the war, it stands to
reason that no American citizens were captured and/or held in these POW camps
