Write a 1000 word paper answering; The term paper "James Bacque's Other Losses Analysis" talks about the book "Other Losses” authored by James Bacque into the mass deaths of Germans who were prisoners of war by the French and the Americans after WWI. The term other losses was a term that was used on the army records to conceal the body count of deaths of the prisoners of war who died out of starvation. After the Second World War, the Germans knew that they had lost the war, they witnessed the worst form of resistance. It all began because of the United States General, Dwight Eisenhower who was in charge of all the supplies that the Germans received. General Eisenhower intentionally caused the starvation of the prisoners of war and exposed them to unsanitary conditions. The United States was a signatory to the Geneva Convention and the Convention provided for ways of handling prisoners of war that they had to follow. In order to conceal the contravention of the Geneva Convention, the general disguised the Prisoners of War as Disarmed Enemy Forces so that the Geneva Convention could not recognize them. The Geneva Convention provided for the means of treatment of prisoners, which included the feeding of the prisoners, the reception of emails and the visits by members of the international committee. There ratio supply of food that the Germans were being given was reduced. The Combined Chiefs of Staff received Eisenhower’s letter that stated that the Germans are the ones who would be responsible for the feeding and take care of the disarmed Germans.
