Was the use of torture and threats only used in isolated cases?
a) There appears to be a wide range in how Nazi's in Allied custody
were treated. It is pretty clear from various sources that threats
against prisoners were common. The use of torture was not rare either.
Torture was used to break a prisoner's spirit to gain cooperation, as
in the case of Hoess. It was also administered out of what appears to
be pure sadism.

Where's the evidence, Chrissy?

Exactly who from among the hundreds tried were tortured?
Is this an example of the "scientific" evidence you promised?
