In the show “Masters of the Air” they show the American POW’s getting mail in the POW camp. Were both sides really civil enough to allow mail to be transferred to prisoners?

This is so crazy, I just said this to my wife the other night while watching Masters of Air (which we love and saw part of it being filmed while on vacation in London) and looked up the international laws baked into “captured soldiers” which is a fascinating and horrifying concept when you hear the pilots ask if we “lost anyone” meaning did they die or did Germans get them? Either way, it was like they were dead either way. But there’s a beautiful humanitarian law brought into this dreadful situation for POWs that they have hope restored that their loved ones are still thinking and writing to them when they themselves could think they’re a lost cause.
