My mother who had just turned 13 at the time of the Russian invasion of Berlin was cornered by a drunken, armed soldier in her family’s apartment - maybe he had official business or not, I don’t know. While her mother and grandmother were crying in another room he attempted to restrain my mom and by God’s grace she was able to elude him and dash out of the building. She hid for several hours before being brave enough to go home. The Russians were pigs.
I just can’t believe that as a RULE, American troops acted like the Russians did. The Russians were led by a murderous godless tyrant, Stalin, whereas Eisenhower and Patton seemed to have a strong code of moral(Christian-based) conduct on the order of George Washington. I hope I am not being naïve here.
