"That is a lie, there was not any concentration camps in Poland. I know that many POW died because of hunger nut also many escaped to Eastern Prussia and probably they never came back. Well, they could chose some richer country to spread communism in."

Lukasz--where the Soviet Russian POW's were kept then ? In Private Polish homes ? In Pilsudski headquarters ? There surely were POW camps and quite a number of Russian Red Army soldiers died there during epidemy. So let's not rewrite history. Certainly, Soviet Russian POW's were representatives of an agressive power who wanted to spread Bolshevism in Poland and E. Europe, so its wrong to equate their fate with the fate of the victims of communism. Nevertheless, it does not mean that we should not have any respect to the war dead even if they fought for completely wrong cause.

They were kept in camps but not in concentration camps. Lukasz--where the Soviet Russian POW's were kept then ?

They were kept in camps but not in concentration camps. Maybe Pilsudski should offer them better conditions, but lets not forget that Poland regained independence in 1918 and since that time we have only war. Poland was poor and probably because of that they decided to fed first Poles and then invaders army.

In my father's village near Lomza there was one Russian ex-POW for that example. From what he said it was not uncommon at that time. This man escaped from Red Army and made his living feeding pigs of local people.
