I recall reading that they were attacked by both sides.

If the Germans betrayed them later it wouldn't surprise me. But the Chechens did indeed collaborate with the Nazis. Check google for info. Here's a start.

In any case, my comment in Post 338 was in response to Luis's lashing out with the 'Nazi' label to all who opposed him. If he can do it, then why can't we all?

Thanks for the link.

"But when Chechen forces were accused of collaborating with the Germans during the Second World War,"

I'd be interested in any sources that you or anyone has on this. I've been looking but so far no joy.

One thing I think (hope) we can all agree on is the Caucasus is an area that has.....history and many of the people there really don't like each other. Unfortunatly this is the way of the world.
