    Perhaps 'axis troops will be detained for questionning at length and then shipped off to POW camps, Officers may then be deported to Nuremburg and tried as War criminals' would be both accurate and serve as the neccessary deterrent

    or a trainload of freed Rusian POWs being forcibly repatriated to Russia and almost certain death.

    wiki says "Soviet reprisals against former POWs
    One often finds statements that Soviet POWs who survived German captivity were accused by the Soviet authorities of collaboration with the Nazis[35] or branded as traitors under Order No. 270, which prohibited any soldier from surrendering.[38][39][40] During and after World War II freed POWs went to special "filtration" camps. Of these, by 1944, more than 90 per cent were cleared, and about 8 per cent were arrested or condemned to serve in penal battalions. In 1944, they were sent directly to reserve military formations to be cleared by the NKVD. Further, in 1945, about 100 filtration camps were set for repatriated Ostarbeiter, POWs, and other displaced persons, which processed more than 4,000,000 people. By 1946, 80 per cent civilians and 20 per cent of POWs were freed, 5 per cent of civilians, and 43 per cent of POWs were re-drafted, 10 per cent of civilians and 22 per cent of POWs were sent to labor battalions, and 2 per cent of civilians and 15 per cent of the POWs (226,127 out of 1,539,475 total) transferred to the NKVD, i.e. the Gulag.[41][42]


    and lots more. I believe we should stop trivialising this awful war

    Agreed - I can't stand them and wouldn't go anywhere near one, but that doesn't mean that I 'd want to see them 'banned'. I just stay away from them.
