ELI5: Why was it acceptable to execute Nazis that were captured during World War 2, but it is not acceptable to execute captured Al-Quada members (they are being held in Guantanamo instead)?

It wasn't acceptable, and we didn't do it. Some of the leaders were executed, but the average soldier was just held as a prisoner of war until the war ended. (And the average German POW was actually treated a lot better than we're treating people in Guantanamo.)
