Was the use of torture and threats only used in isolated cases?
There appears to be a wide range in how Nazis 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.
