Default Re: Happy Victory Day!

Steve,

with all of your American ignorance and anti-German bias, you´re overlooking the fact that not only Germany has fallen prey to the vengeance of the Glorious Red Army (TM).

What did countries such as Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belorus, Ukraine, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria do wrong (note that I omitted Romania, which - in accordance to your "eye-for-an-eye" theory - was a German ally)? Nothing, as these countries had, too, fallen prey to Nazi aggression. And yet, these countries, too, were raped by the Glorious Red Army (TM), a collateral damage in defeating fascism, leaving an economically scorched earth in many of the countries mentioned after the demise of the Soviet Union. They were fücked twice, first by the 3rd Reich, and then by the Red Army.

On a side note, as you omit the fates of the countries on the "other" side of what used to be the iron curtain, and you overlook the war crimes the Red Army committed against the civilian population there, I fail to consider you very well-informed or scholarly. On another side note, you also fail to mention the Soviet "Kamps", or Gulags, where most of the Axis war prisoners were tortured and worked to death as well. Along with many innocent civilians (mainly from Hungary and Poland) who were sent there as slaves as well. Read Ephraim Kishon´s autobiography and his recollections on how it was impossible for him to see a difference between what the Nazis did in comparison to what the Soviets did. Maybe then you´ll get a better understanding. And also don´t forget that the Red Army kept many of the captured concentration camps open to detain and murder dissidents there after the end of WW2.
