Does anybody know how French and British soldiers captured in the 1st German campaign in France were treated?

AFAIK there was no difference of treatement of Occidental POWs, regarding they were Jewish or not, at least as a general policy. Individuals suffered from antisemitism but were not singled out and shot, like in Russia in 1941.

Pierre Miquel says in his "Second World War" that one of Rotschild sons that was a French war prisoner stayed in a VIP prisoner camp in Germnay. Now i do not remember but i thought it was XC Stalag. I will search for more information

About Allied Jews war prisoners Pierre Miquel in his Second World War says that Guy de Rotschild was prisoner in XC Oflag near Lübeck. With him was the historian Fernand Braudel (he was leutnant in the French Army), the son of Stalin,the leutnant Scwartz niece of the Great Rabbi of France, and the Count Goworovsky (relative of Murat).
This Oflag was for VIP people. The jew prisoner held religious meeting. In the place of the meeting the German authorities nailed David Stars.
