Re: Why Germans were not punished after WW2?
[QUOTE=MilleVanille;1448873]LeatherneckPM, Tanngrisnir3 you are both racists and nazis. Both of you use the same scheme of national stereotypes...
For example, i don't drink at all... Usually i don't answer to racists and nazis, but i will make exclusion one time. If Choco's posts are not example of Nazism and racism, then i don't know what Nazism and racism is...[/QUOTE] You got that right.

Re: Why Germans were not punished after WW2?
The Russians punished the Germans in 1945-47. The Soviet army pushed the Germans back over the border and kept going to Berlin through what used to be East Prussia, Pomerania and Brandenburg and into Silesia farther south. In the former East Prussia, all Germans were expelled, cities were destroyed and every trace of German life was removed.
About 14 million people were expelled; the number of deaths were in the range of 2 million Germans. They died of cold and exposure; they were murderd with guns; they were tortured and beaten to death. There were many individual examples of dreadful deaths. About 10,000 people died on the Wilhelm Gustloff, a refugee ship which was torpedoed in the Baltic sea. Wilhelm Gustloff - The Greatest Ship Disaster and Sinking in History The best book I know of on the topic is East Prussian Diary, A Journal of Faith by Count Hans von Lehndorff. East Prussian diary: A journal of faith,1945-1947: Hans von Lehndorff: Amazon.co.uk: Books In Berlin, about 100,000 women were raped by Russians, and that does not incude the tens of thousands of women in other parts of eastern Germany. This is the best book on the subject that I know: Amazon.com: A Woman in Berlin: Eight Weeks in the Conquered City--A Diary: Anonymous, Philip Boehm: Books The Russians conquered and absorbed parts of eastern Germany, and conquered east-central Germany and ruled those provinces for more than forty years - inlcuding half of the former capital. It was not only the Russians who punished the Germans. There is an extraordinary book called After the Reich, by Giles MacDonough - a stunning account of what Germans experienced in the years immediately after the war. Amazon.com: After the Reich: Giles MacDonogh: Books The German army started the war; they entered Russia with the intent of destroying your nation and enslaving the Russian people. The sufferings of the Russians are unimaginable. I know that. I have just finished this book, about the Siege of Leningrad - State of Siege by Michael Jones: Amazon.com: Leningrad: State of Siege: Michael Jones: Books I know that is only one aspect of a horrifying ordeal. I am only saying that the Germans did suffer horribly at the end of the war. There are many examples of that. |

His response was a parody of your own posts.

The truth is that discipline in Soviet army was very strict. German women offered themselves to Soviet soldiers for food, fuel and other stuff like that. That the real fact. |

![]() There are many eyewitness accounts. I know some of the family members of those who were attacked; they live in the suburbs of Berlin. I don't think it is controversial to say this. |

Quote:
I agree, there were some rapes, but those cases were rare, because the punishment for this act was big since the discipline was strong... |

![]() Please tell us more. I liked that one. Youre going to have to admit that killing innocents is not rectified by killing more innocents. But I suspect you wont. I take it you personally would like to pull the trigger? Have you any women and children in mind for you're executions? Anyway, why havent you accepted that innocent russians should die for the crimes of other russians just as innocent germans should die for the crimes of other germans? Doesnt that make sense to you?

You really are completely clueless. The sheer stupidity of this crap is really impressive!

He doesn't grasp basic historical fact so a film reference is going to sail wayyyy over his head.
