The Red’s army mass rape policies were ordered from the higher-up. Nor can it be blamed on Russians being Russian, since there were only 3 recorded rapes by the Russian army in WW1. The allied media is also complicit in covering it up. Despite it being common knowledge among allied troops about Red army’s behavior the western press didn’t report the story stateside.

Suicide in Berlin at the end was an epidemic.

There was a reason why any surviving members of the Nazi command structure fled WEST.

I think it’s commonly claimed that that was “payback” for what German troops did in Eastern Europe.But my gut tells me that the Soviet troops would have done this because they,basically,were savages.

I read The Last Battle by Cornelius Ryan as a teen. (I read all three of his WWII books then).

I always remember the story of the anti-Naxi a German a Communist woman who couldn’t wait for the Red Army to arrive. When they finally did, she joyously came out if hiding to rush out to meet them and be part of the celebration, join them as comrade.

They immediately gang raped her.

Yes, because the Wehrmacht and Einsatzgruppen were such perfect Gentlemen in Russia. /s

I once met a lady who escaped Poland. She was the only female in her family not raped by soviets. One day, her parents pointed her east and said “go”.

She escaped by running past Soviet tanks. An American GI ran out and grabbed her to safety.

Germans love to tell the story of WWII. One day, for reasons they never fully understood, the Soviets invaded and raped everybody.

It’s especially amazing considering how the krauts treated Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Latvian, Estonian, women. Basically for krauts it was sexual open season on everyone east of the Reich.

Anyway, lamenting their own suffering is a part of the German national sickness. If it isn’t the “Sorrows of you Werther”, it’s a dueling scar to show their suffering. Incredibly, the exterminating squads during the war were told that the reich knew their mass murdering duty was very heavy indeed, but that future generations would revere them for enduring this duty.

Germans love to suffer. So it’s best to ignore them when they whine.

The Russians raped, killed or ate almost everything in their path. The Russians came across a herd of Lipizzaner stallions and mares in Czechoslovakia and those that they couldn’t harness to wagons they shot and ate. Neverminding that the horses were more valuable than gold to the state. Colonel Hank Reed of the 2nd Cavalry found out about those in Western Czechoslovakia and negotiated with an Austrian officer and veterinarian to surrender the rare Arabians and Lipizzaner’s from Poland and Austria. He then contacted Patton who gave him the green light to go after them in a clandestine operation to get the horses West. Had the Russians got there first the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and the bloodline of Witez would have been nothing but a footnote in history.

Re: “...there were idealistic, austere communists and members of the intelligentsia appalled by such behaviour.”

Really?

If that were true, the Russians would have summarily executed several hundred Russian soldiers - and that would have been the end of mass rapes.

"...massive war crime committed by the victorious Red Army."

The Guardian is covering this?
