Jules, you have to realise the rampant racism at play during WWII. These prisoners were seen as sub-human so for them it was no different than dissecting frogs in high school biology class. It is one of the dynamics of war on individuals. Many come to view their enemy as less than human in order to ease the psychological pain of taking a life. The fact you don't understand this fully is a blessing.
