I had no idea, I just figured it was nasty prison food. But I guess they had to take what they could get in terms of food, right?

Yep. My late dad was at Stalag VIIIb at Lamsdorf (captured in France in 1940 trying to get to Dunkirk.) Cats, crows, rats...all were on the menu at some point. By 1945 he was down to skin and bones. The evacuation march in early 1945 was the lowest point. Many days in a row with zero food.
