Throughout all of history, who most effectively used their prisoners

>>2559292
Nazis, without competion.

>Vlasovci
>Experiments on humans
>Slave labour

Mongols.

>>2559292
But ransom was the best shit ever you fuck. Imagine getting rich after capturing a king and some nobles

>>2559292
Any ancient society that used slaves to work in agriculture. Mining slaves feel like a waste, though. Sex slaves are nice (>tfw no sex slave), but by "prisoners of war" you are probably not referring to non-combatants taken prisoner.

>>2559322
Also human sheilds during Operation Carthage.

>>2559292
Turks.

>>2559399
>125 Danish civilians dead
>including 86 school children
Holy shit. And this was just against a German police station in Denmark.

East Asia.

Read up on the Three Kingdoms in China or the Sengoku period in Japan. Niggas love switching sides upon capture.

I think the same thing happened with Australia and PoW's from the North African campaign. After the war a lot of Italians even settled in Australia.

ancient Egyptians often recruited captured soldiers

>>2559445
i was referring to the prisoners who were used to line against the out facing walls to deter bombing campaigns

>>2559474
