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.
Deserves got nothing to do with it.
I believe that's what was implied.
Patton was well aware of the Semetic influence on the communists
It's fairly well known that Antisemitism flourished under Stalin, who used it to expel Trotsky (a Jew). Even Khrushchev, said Stalin had long harboured negative sentiments toward Jews that had manifested themselves before the 1917 Revolution. Stalin also drew the line between a "Jewish faction" and a "true Russian faction" in Bolshevism. After expulsion of Trotsky, his heritage was exploited in the form of association "A Jew is a Trotskyist, a Trotskyist is a Jew". Since 1936 in the show trial of "Trotskyite-Zinovievite Terrorist Center", the suspects, prominent Bolshevik leaders, were accused of hiding their Jewish origins under Slavic names. This blatant discrimination was rapid across the red army, as they displayed a "growing obsession" with the presence of Jews in the military.

let the Bolshevik soviets take berlin
- The Soviets lost roughly 27,000,000 (civilian and military)
- The Soviets fought the Germans from September 1939 to November 1944
- The US joined the ground battle in June 1944.
- US combats deaths from European and Pacific theatre were 405,399
Now really, who do you think deserved to take Berlin?

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.
