The soviets where losing the fight...if it was not for America joining in Germany would have won the war, no one can fight a two front battle. Deserves? the soviets never signed the geneva convention and did not follow the rules of war, they massacred women and children, some times 50-100 men would rape German women TO DEATH, SO WHEN YOU SAY ''DESERVES'' It just pisses me off. also do you find it odd that every claimed gas chamber just happened to be on the soviet side of the iron curtain? it took 6-10 months after the war for the gas chamber stories to appear...think about that. no one was aloud to investigate those claimed gas chambers until YEARS after the war. THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT or just believe everything that has been indoctrinated into your nbrain before you where old enough to critically think for yourself.
It may sound horrible, but Soviet war crimes were petty comparing to the previous crimes done by Germans on Soviet land. This was revenge. My German mother-in-law lived though it and wrote a book about it.
The stories that USSR never signed the Geneva convention is a myth. It was singed on in Geneva on June 27th 1929. It was ratified on May 12th 1930 and signed Moscow on August 25 1930. The catch is that the USSR had caveats placed in their version of the convention that excluded "enemies of the Soviet state" from being protected by the convention. As the Nazis were enemies of the Soviet state and attacked the USSR then they could not be protected by the convention. This would have also been the case for any NATO soldier captured by Soviet forces during a NATO/Warsaw Pact conflict- if one had occurred.
Those of us that have seen it up close and personal, know that war is a cruel and horrible thing.
Sorry to sound rude but this sounds like a bunch of he said she said bull shit. And the whole ''Revenge'' thing i am not buying. Raping little children , women and old laddies to death is not ok no matter what happened, those are civilians that had nothing to do with it. The allies also fire bombed civilian targets, burning women and children to death. If i was a German and you did that to my family i would also fight to the death.
So, let me get this straight. You don’t buy the motive of revenge, after the Soviets lost 27 million people, but state that if you were German you would fight to the death over these atrocities, thereby repeating the cycle of revenge?

Don't think too much: you're not equipped.
