One example of the German butchery was an order issued by the German Sixth Army during early 1942. German soldiers were told that any civilian with short hair seen behind the lines was likely a Russian soldier so these should be shot. Shot, not captured, just shot.
German soldiers were also told to shoot anyone found supply food to partisans, an order that basically meant that any civilian carrying food was shot.
For the most part, the Western Allies treated POWs fairly, unlike the Germans who shot, tortured, and starved Russian POWs. The Germans got their just desserts when they were captured.
