I have such mixed feelings. I despise the Nazis, but I also hate the Reds. Remember that out of the three million POWs taken by the Soviets, these 57,000 were handpicked because they could still march. Most of the remainder could not because of malnutrition and torture at the hands of the Reds.
Of the 3,000,000 POWs, one-third of them died in captivity & the last were not released until 1956. Of course, the Commies had never signed the Geneva Accords on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, so 'legally' they could do whatever they wished to the Germans.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
