1.49K

Russia's Ministry of Defence has published online a cache of declassified documents detailing atrocities carried out by Nazi soldiers and officers during World War Two.

The release on Friday on the defense ministry's website comes two days before the International Day of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps on April 11—the day in 1945 when prisoners in Buchenwald, Germany were freed.

The material from the ministry's central archives includes photographs and letters. Among the revelations are details of a prisoner of war camp near Stalingrad—present-day Volgograd, the scene of the battle between the Soviet Union against Germany and its allies which ended in February 1943.

As well as the Japanese. We hardly ever hear about their atrocities and experiments.

The communist bore the brunt of casualties and fighting during WW2. I think we should be able to give them credit for that much. We were pretty generous to the Nazis at the end of the war. I think our dislike of the communist was a blessing for the Nazis.

We gave Stalin a Truck Factory and tons of war Material . Hitler killed 12 million people, Stalin killed 20 million. Much of the Soviet disaster when the NAZIS invaded Russia was because Stalin had purged the military leaving a military in shambles with many senior leader positions empty and middle level leadership hollowed out. Stalin could not mount a defense to stop the Nazi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge
