There was an amazing story about US troops in WW I that got stuck in Russia while the Russian revolution happened.
They hunkered down in a remote area for two years—couldn’t get out of there even when the war was over.
Months after the war was over the local villagers finally got the flu—and so did the soldiers.
More died from the flu than died in combat against local Commies.

My grandfather was a POW of the Russians in WW I during the revolution. My grandfather was fighting for Germany. He left some interesting memoirs of his time there. He helped the Russians by machining parts for them in a small village. Then he was able to escape and walk back to Germany!
