Article name[edit]

Why is this article called German prisoners of war in northwest Europe? It handles the whole western front and a little bit the italian front. This article should be called German prisoners of war in western Europe and be expanded because at the moment it only sums up numbers. There is nothing about the treatment by the different western allies (very high casuality numbers for french prisoners) and the duration of imprisonment after the war. At the current status a correct name would be German prisoner of war numbers on the western allied fronts of World War II. --Bomzibar (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
