    the red army was the ONLY army in WW2 that punished soldiers who did this. Usually by a bullet to the head by the nearest political officer.

    i think the amerikkkans hanged some black soldiers, but that might’ve been during WW1 and they were basically just lynchings

    https://journals.openedition.org/rccsar/476 this is an interesting article about the way nato basically spun all the SA the red army did into the standard anti-communist points of: “hordes of asiatics doing horrible crimes constantly”

    in the end though, show me an army that doesnt r#pe and i’ll show you the unit manual for Starcraft 2, sadly

      we can avoid making an obviously false statement just to emphasize that the soviet military had policies against it.
