I assume that the USA had signed the Geneva Convention, so I have to disagree on a small point :
Officers were normally interned in OFLAG (for OFfizier LAGer) whereas enlisted personnel and non coms were enlisted in STALags.
The prisonners in STALAGS had to work (either in plants or in farms- which was the best place to be in).
The internees of OFLAGS were not supposed to work as the Geneva convention prescribed for all officers. Russian officers were not interned in oflags, as that country had not signed the geneva convention.
