The scene to which you refer was a fairly accurate representation of a USO show at a forward firebase in the Asian theater at that time. The performers don’t pick the locations they are taken to; they just did their act. It was all contractual and very ad-lib. All of it was much rancher than anything the american public ever saw by watching Bob Hope.
I don’t think the USO performers were ever allowed in or around legitimate POW compounds. But – then again this place isn’t housing legitimate POWs. It isn’t even a concentration camp. Hell, the Nazi’s allowed the Red Cross to visit their camps.
