Grim reading.

[Dick Bachert]

A close friend was born in Germany and, as a child, lived through WWII there.

At the end of that war, his father, a doctor, gave each family member a pill and told them to TAKE THE PILL if the Russians broke through first. If the Allies got to them first, throw the pill away.

I’ll let you guess what the pill contained.

A new film about to be released in Germany will force both countries to re-examine part of their recent history that each would much prefer to forget.

i don´t think a movie forces a state to do anything.

[txzman]

It is certainly not right. But the term ‘payback is a bitch’ applies here. Only it is always the innocent who seem to pay.

A friend/former co-worker’s German aunt was fathered by a Soviet rapist soldier during the war.

I guess USA looked the other way because of Germany's treatment of everyone from East which was much worse. It does question validity of post WWI ‘war crimes trials’ that liberals thought would be the new world law, with USSR as the prosecutor.

Just as an aside I saw “Downfall” a few years ago Germany's first movie on the last days of Hitler. It shows how insane things were in Berlin, like a sci-fi movie.

I read a book about this, I think the author’s name was Hildagard Kneff or Neff. She was an actress.

[austrian]

is it just me who doesn´t think this way? how can the writer of this report assume that a film about 1945 can have an affect on current russian german relations?

Stalin's army of rapists: The brutal war crime that
Russia and Germany tried to ignore.

Hey, it's just about s-x!

The sort of response you'd hear from an consistent Liberal/Democrat.

Rape of the losers is part of the concept that the strong prevail over the weak. That is, the fittest survive Russian genes have entered and perhaps tempered the present German population.

The aversion to rape by conquerors is a post WWII concept. It has been a part of war from the beginning. It is always part of tribal war in Africa

It is evolution in action

I beleive that win, lose (hopefully), or draw we will see Obama’s army of thugs behaving badly November 4-5.

Another good book on this topic: Red Storm on the Reich.

The French didn’t exactly have clean hands, either. I’ve read that the British showed the most restraint, then the Americans. The Russians were the worst, by far, followed by the French.

[WilliamReading]

It’s called rough justice. I can’t shed many tears for the Germans on this one, sorry.
