Did British soldiers get sent to concentration camps?

In: World War 2 [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, British soldiers taken prisoners by the Gerrmans were sent to prisoner of war (POW) camps, where conditions were much better.

A very small number of British prisoners - for example, some of those who kept on trying to escape - were sent to concentration camps. There were also a very small number who were sent to concentration camps by mistake.
