I guess the German Jews that died (or maybe they didn't really die ?) in concentration camps were prisoners of the losing regime of........German Jewry perhaps???

Of course, Polish, French, Belgian, Dutch Jews were prisoners of losing regimes, because at that time their country of origin was losing.

But then again, there's that little thing of the general populace being non-combatants and all, and therefor maybe not technically prisoners?

"It seems prisoners of regimes on the losing side of wars..."
Meaning, those in custody of polities that end up losing the conflict.

"Prisoners" in the practical sense of the term, not necessarily IAW any particular government's black letter law definition of "prisoner."

Now, I doubt you are in the same league as Cardinal Richelieu, but I did write more than six lines.
