3,060,000 German military personnel were taken prisoner by the USSR and that 1,094,250 died in captivity (549,360 from 1941 to April 1945; 542,911 from May 1945 to June 1950 and 1,979 from July 1950 to 1955).[4]
Were you really under any impression that the comment section on a post about war crimes against Nazis was going to go any other way? You knew exactly what you were getting into.
Yes I was to be honest. I didn’t imagine I would be accused of being a nazi because I detailed war crimes against them.
Not to mention I’ve made similar posts in the past about nazi war crimes against the allies, I believe one was specifically about the soviets, and people were quite respectful and intelligent in the comments.
For context, the Nazis took 6 million POWs and murdered 3 million. Far higher death rate, far higher in totality. The Nazis destroyed large parts of the USSR and murdered millions of Soviet civilians and POWs.
I definitely get what you were going for, and you’re not wrong. Unfortunately the internet isn’t the most objective place, and the thought process for most is just going to stop at, “Bad thing happened to Nazis… Meh.”
