I do not believe the soldiers were in possession of information that was objective. You could go to prison for listening to short-wave and broadcasts from the BBC and Luxembourg.
Today that tight a hold on information is not possible.
If you were a German soldier, you wanted to surrender in the West. Same goes for the females.
Yep. Ivan wanted payback...
You don’t believe the average German soldier knew the Eastern Front was a complete mess, that he faced overwhelming odds in the west,,, because he didn’t listen to shortwave?
Ever been a grunt?
