There is another thread who handle this topic. There are solutions from a third Reich variant to the use as a help for your own production. Here is my favourite: put them all in a home province together with a corps that protects them. They produce labor then!

Forgot to ask when the POW issue was first raised. Do POW units incur upkeep cost the way an inf division does?

They dont cost you, but they do eat.

I say stick them all on the transports taht you cannot use anyway, since the brits rule the sea, and let the brits scuttle the ships for you. My home province is there so my troops can forage, not the darn frogs.

LOL. What a creative solution.

Cost of Transport Fleet: 50 gold
Saving from Supply: 1 Unit Food
Watching your enemy's face when they learn they sent their own division to the bottom of the sea: Priceless!

Once you run out of premade transports though, it would be an expensive solution. Maybe some additional privateers might volunteer for disposal duty for you?

Frog-march the POWs, if less desirable, to as far as even another nation to attract enemy releasing troops, like Cossacks, there.
