In Soviet labor camps yes. Not really elsewhere. I've known/met a number of German veterans who were captured and sent to Allied POW camps. All have had good things to say about the Allies (except Russia). Actually, a few months ago I went to Camp Blanding in Florida with a German fallshirmjager veteran to visit the site of the POW camp where he was a prisoner. He gave us and the base historian a tour of what little remains of the camp. He described his time there as a POW as his "university" since his time there had "opened my eyes" and changed his life for the better.
He did say on a few occasions they were sent to farms to pick citrus fruit. Which they didn't mind doing, especially since they would keep some of fruit and make a hard liquor out of it. Sneaky Germans ;)
The Japanese didn't usually take prisoner either cause they were still following the samurai code of honor during WWII, not to mention their dislike of "western devils". Well, the axis in the whole weren't too keen on keeping POW. Although sometimes being POW is even worse than death with some of the ways the prisoners were treated in various labour camps.

You mean the Burma Railway?

Doesn't look like she survived the war. :(
I thought that same thing watching her past going in as her spirit moves on
Reminds me a lot of the final episode of Death Note Where light is running to the abandoned warehouse and he passes his memory of his former self before he decided to become "a god"
