War Camp

It really does not seem that bad at all from the British perspective when speaking about war camps.  " A German Major came in now.  He considered the Englishmen as close friends"(Vonnegut, 128).  His experience with the Englishmen almost seems to surreal.  I am curious to see as to whether or not this whole tale is just another fallacy.  Additionally, Kurt Vonnegut in "Slaughterhouse Five" portrays the Russians in a very negative light.  Though he never mentions the executions and deaths of british soldiers, he does not hold back when mentioning the deaths of the Russians.  The Russians seemed to have the very hard road.  As Billy walked into the camp, the first individual he saw was a Russian man starving and just looking at him.  Also, when he got caught in the barbed wire, a mysterious Russian appeared and helped him.
