The German soldiers were eager to surrender to the Americans. None wanted to surrender to the Communists. The Germans did not need to be coerced into surrendering to the Americans. They willing surrendered.

Indeed, the Russians would not have treated them very, shall we say, ‘kindly’?

I think these Germans were happy to be alive and out of the war. Incredible video!

the average American GI didn’t particularly hate the German soldiers. Not the case with the men in the Red Army. Some of those soldiers had fought from Volga river to German and Austria. The had seen nothing but total destruction and ruin, no farm animal, few people, burned villages all the way. IMO had any of us been in the boots of those Soviet soldiers we would not have treated the krauts any differently than they did.
