'They raped every German female from eight to 80'

@Cuts

Rape is never a necessity !

It is a brutal act against the defenceless.
It is a power crime rather than a sexual one.

Rape shows a lack of discipline at all levels.
Granted there will be some individual psychopaths that slip through the net, but rape on a scale such as this is an indictment of the soldiers, their immediate commanders and the higher staff and leaders of the regimes.
None involved can claim any reason that could make them immune from prosecution.

It is against the teachings of all the religions which the major participants may have claimed as their own.
The Communists still treated it as a crime despite their lack of religious conviction.

Some may seek to mitigate these actions because of atrocities previously witnessed, but two wrongs do not make a right.
Anyone claiming that there was a good reason for the rapes show that their own morals are deeply suspect.

Seconded.

Erwin, if your mother, sister or daughter might have been the victims, I bet that you would be full of anger on the rapists. More, tell your opinion to your girlfriend (if any) and you’ll be alone.

Off-topic: What kind of Catholic are you then???

Dedicated to all those who lost their lives through man’s inhumanity to man, which knows no bounds of race, creed, or time.

“Any war must be categorized as an “atrocity” but the war that Hitler started brought a scale of atrocity never previously known. The statistics of World War II clearly qualify it, by far, as the most heinous atrocity in all recorded history. Within this period the world has enjoyed real peace for only 268 years.” - G.D.

Hey,maybe it was a necesity,i know that raping is inhuman and a brutality,but maybe the guys after months of fighting with ice on the pants,bored,without having any sexual relation gave them a giant necesity to do “It”,just put yourself in their places,you have a year or more of not having a woman,i would feel desesperated.

This is very, very bad mate. I third what Cuts said. It is not a necesity and never will be. It is also a power thing rather than a sexual one, no matter how it is dressed up.

Please try out your opinion on a female that you know, and watch her run in to the distance mate.

I think it was Churchill, who after the war, at the Rise of the Sovjetunion, said
“We have slaughtered the wrong pig” meaning not that germany didnt deserve what they got, but that the russians at all times where a greater thread to UK/USA.
Interesting eh?

Russia certainly became the greater threat, and perhaps this was spotted in 1944 or earlier. It is possible, maybe, that a peace could have been brokered with Hitler in 1940. It has been indicated in the past that he would have liked to make peace with the Western Allies, although whether this was because he knew he was taking a beating on the Eastern front I don’t know.

The point is however, that the Nazis were a brutal bunch and needed stopping. After 1945, none of the Allies were in much state to carry on against each other. Brutality in Russia however has always been a way of life, but is generally turned in on themselves. Look at the treatment of the Serfs in the 1800s.

Indeed!
