Yeah. And you can imagine how it felt to be kicking Nazi tails to men like General Rose, who was Jewish.

In northern Italy, towards the end, Partisans, including women, did quite a bit of the heavy lifting. I'm pretty sure this was in Milan.

May 1, 1945. General Patch's 12th Armored Division, forging their way towards the Austrian border, uncovered horrors at a German prison camp at Schwabmunchen, southwest of Munich. Over 4,000 slave laborers, all Jews of various nationalities, were housed in the prison. The internees were burned alive by guards who set fire to the crude huts in which the prisoners slept, shooting any who tried to escape.

Wish I had a ruble for every bottle of vodka consumed by Russians the first week in May 1945. I’d be as rich as Putin, or even richer.

Those Munich and Bremen German POWs look very uninjured, healthy, well-fed, clean, rested, and well-equipped. Backwater urban postings were advantageous, especially if they could be surrendered after minimal conflict.
