My grandmother used to tell me about how russian frontline units first came to “liberate” Poland.
She recalled three things, Russians had their guns on strings made of rope instead of actuall belts.
Many of the Russians from the far east of the SU had one dream and that was to get a wristwatch.
Most Russians did not know how to flush a toilet ( they were used to outhouses and apparently Moscow toilets operated via gravity alone ).
Russian soldiers would attempt to rape women when drunk untill a few were put for execution.
Russian soldiers who came from rural regions did not know how to operate an electric lamp ( they did not know you need to flip a switch ).
Most Russian soldiers did not know how to read, even in Russian.
Russian soldiers used books as toilet paper even if toilet paper was available.
Russian soldiers would steal absolutely anything mechanical ( clocks, toys ) and break it within minutes, as units left the town the streets were filled with broken devices.
Because theft was so notorious in the Red Army guards were posted everywhere, in my grandmothers house there was a guard posted next to a crate of 9 bottles of Vodka ( stand by for picture ).
Russian soldiers would rape and torture-murder any german female including 13 years old or below.
