“Imagine how horrific the Soviets were if they were considered worse than the Nazis”
Nazis weren’t considered better, GERMANS were. People under the Soviet boot thought they were joining the Germans they all knew of recently from WWI. They knew how “Germans” acted. The German Army of WWI was the antithesis of the Nazi armies.
They didn’t yet knew about what the face of the Nazi really was.
And imagine how horrific the Nazis were that they were cool with being seen as liberators, and were still happy to heap even more abuse on those they “liberated”. Nazis were truly sick. They weren’t about wiping out communism, they were only about spreading their own sick brand of socialism, nothing more.
But "they" immediately--as soon as the Nazi's arrived--embraced actions to exterminate Jews.
” The German Army of WWI was the antithesis of the Nazi armies.” —> that’s what I’ve read about them after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Do you have any more links for me to read?
