  • As the Second World War turned against the German Army, the Soviet Red Army and the Allies including the US Army and the British began to force the Wehrmacht back towards their homeland. However as they entered Germany, many soldiers committed horrific crimes against German women who lived inside of villages, towns and cities. The Soviet Red Army for example caused chaos inside of Berlin during the Battle of Berlin, as they hunted women and struck fear into their hearts. It's believed that there were millions of women who were victims of assault by the invading armies during the war.
    Many could not live with their crimes, but also there were crimes committed by the American Army, and it's believed 11,000 women suffered at the hands of them. Also the British soldiers committed crimes against the female population of Germany, as did the French. But these crimes are not as well reported, but as the war came to a end many of the women who had been treated awfully were incredibly scared of the Allied soldiers, and not just the Soviets.

The kid was 10 years old and had been raped thousands of times by the Muslim adult male, who bought him. The Army told these heroes "We don't interfere with the customs of the locals" and ordered the boy returned to bondage and sexual slavery to Allah man.

    It seems any war will involve the rape of women by soldiers regardless of drunkenness or nationality. It's as though taking women is an unwritten law of war. The men forget they have their own mothers, sisters, wives in their lives and they are able to dehumanize and use females of "the enemy". Most often no one is punished and the soldiers can proceed with impunity. These crimes are happening again in Ukraine as they did in Bosnia etc etc.

      The russians are the worst attacking innocent civilians in an unprovoked attack. Many german women were protected by the american soldiers from the russian dogs and went to america to start new lives with them. Russia brought the german attack in ww2 on themselves by stealing neighbors countries exactly like we are seeing today. Living anywhere near russia was and clearly still is a very bad thing. The stronger the soviet union became the more germany felt threatened. Russia killed millions of their own people before ww2 and many were of german heritage. Many russians welcomed the german attack and joined the nazi army. Stalin killed their entire families if they were caught or if they surrendered to the nazi's. It would not surprise me if putin is doing the very same thing to families of captured soldiers in his army of thugs today. When polish jewish communists tried to physically take over the german government in the 30s and had to be killed they caused the eventual death of many jews who were regarded as communists since lenin and trotsky started the russian revolution causing millions to die and lose their freedom.

His father died in combat he has only seen him twice. I see this humiliation is still inside him as an 80y old man, and in a way it also affects my father and me on an epigenetic level and we can still see in our society that men who have pride get shut down very fast as its not wanted anymore.

    My grandfather was stationed in Berlin in the closing days of the war and after. He told me that the German people suffered horribly during that time, that Germans were starving and desperate. He wasn’t proud of his service and didn’t want to be there in the first place, got drafted at 18. When he came home, he was psychologically damaged for the rest of his life. I’m sure he witnessed/knew of abuse against German civilians based on what he told me.

We got talking & for whatever reason the conversation turned to WW2. These guys came in just as the war was declared over & had joined up with some Russian soldiers that were to seek out any German soldiers possibly hiding in the countryside. These guys soon became aware that these Russians were nothing but cruel, vile pigs. I won't get into detail what they did to a farmer's wife, daughter & 7yr old boy. Eventually they hung them in the barn. These Canadians had had enough of these atrocities that; let me just say these Russians never woke up in the morning. Because of the fact it was still a war, nobody gave the demise of these Russians a second thought.

The german people have adolf hitler consent to dissolve the weimar republic as the nationalist socialist revolution . These are the facts. When are today's germans just going to accept this that propaganda and dogma took over most of the German people period .

    I watched a video recently of a Holocaust survivor from Auschwitz. At the time of liberation she was around 18 and in bad shape physically, as you can imagine. Afterwards, she also got very depressed that all but her sister had been killed. They found an apt. and she had to be carried. They put her in a crib, and during the night a drunk American soldier with a buddy broke into the apt, picked her up out of the crib and started taking her clothes off, but was stopped by his fellow soldier. She said he got infuriated, but left. He came back the next morning to bring her flowers and apologize. I bet she wondered if she’d ever stop being terrorized and feel safe again.

She was in a camp that was just women. They were used by the German Soldiers as Comfort women. Once she refused and was kicked in the face and lost teeth. When the was was coming to an end they were "liberated" by the Americans. She said they were treated no better than what the Germans did. She hated the Americans as much as she hated the Germans.

    My wife is German. Her grandmother fled East Prussia (Germany) with nothing but two small children and a baby after it was given to the USSR. She walked 800 miles to Bavaria (the only part of Germany that wasn't bombed into oblivion). Along the way she was raped 17 times by Allied Troops and buried two out of the three children. She made it to Bavaria with my wife's father, the baby, whom she had a very co-dependent relationship with. In many ways, todays German people, who nothing to do with the war, carry the emotional and psychological scars of the war from the their parents and grandparents.

      The problem is the German people benefited from the barbarism of the Nazi soldiers. So when the table was turned and the German people found themselves on the bad end, they had no right to complain or whine or demand different treatment. Many of the things that had been sent home to Germany from the conquered countries like Poland were taken with brutal force from people’s homes. Suddenly the shoe was on the other foot. Lesson is: Don’t start fights to begin with. If you lose, you can lose everything. And you deserve it. That’s what happened to Germany.
