The end of World War II ended with the fall of Berlin and Hitler's suicide, and Nazi Germany, which was once glorious and full of military value, came to an end from the stage of history.
However, Hitler's death was not the end, and the entry of Soviet troops into Berlin was the beginning of the nightmare.
On April 16, 1945, the Battle of Berlin finally came to an end after more than 20 days of fierce fighting.
Both sides of the war paid a terrible price, and even ordinary civilians in the area of the exchange of fire suffered heavy casualties, and it was the German women in the area of the war who were most difficult to look at.
The women of the city of Berlin, in particular, simply fell into hell.
2.5 million Soviet troops, began a months-long frenzied plundering in Germany.
In this retaliatory military action, Germany paid not only the dignity of the country, but also the women of the country.
In the Soviet occupation zone, a total of 2 million German women gave their bodies in three months.
What is even more terrifying is that 200,000 women lost their lives because of the Soviet army's retaliation.
Of course, the root cause of all this is to blame for the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941.
The atrocities committed by the Nazis in the Soviet occupation zone were not much weaker than the retaliatory actions of the Soviet Union.
5 million Allied troops marched into the territory of the Soviet Union, not only Soviet men were killed in battle, but a large number of Soviets became prisoners of the Nazis.
Although there is not a single accurate account of the number of prisoners, 6 million has always been a figure recognized by the Soviet Union.
And Stalin's eldest son, Yakov, was among them.
Therefore, whether in terms of national hatred or family hatred, Stalin's hatred of the Nazis is incomparable.
This also led to the retaliation of the Soviet army after the occupation of Berlin, and everything was self-inflicted.
On May 2, 1945, fighting in the Berlin city largely ceased.
Although Berlin was not completely occupied until the 9th, by this time the Soviet troops had already begun to wander around the various districts of Berlin and loot for property.
At that time, the Soviet army had an unwritten rule that allowed ordinary soldiers to mail a package of less than 5 kilograms to their homes every month.
As for the contents of the package, the Soviet Union did not make any inspections and requirements.
This led to the inevitable result of the Soviet soldiers looting and plundering the goods and gold of ordinary people in the occupied areas.
The Soviet Union allowed such behavior to go unchecked in any way.
Of course, this is only the treatment of ordinary soldiers, as for officers, they can mail twice, while generals do not have the number of times they need to be mailed.
In addition, when Soviet troops entered Berlin, they did not choose to live in a centralized manner.
First, in order to control and monitor various regions of Germany, and secondly, to enjoy the fun brought by the post-war as much as possible, they were distributed into the homes of ordinary German people in batches.
This leads to the tragic fact that the Soviet army raped German women in the city, and the targets of rape ranged from girls in their teens to elderly people in their 70s.
Moreover, the operation methods of the Soviet army were very simple, conducting door-to-door searches, and as long as it was a German man, they were all shot on the spot.
As for German women, it depends on the mood and physical strength of the Soviet troops.
This phenomenon occurs not only during the day, but also at night.
The command level led by Zhukov turned a deaf ear to this phenomenon, and even supported and hinted at what the Soviet soldiers were doing in disguise.
The wife of a German soldier was raped five times in Berlin over the course of two days.
In the Soviet army, there is another special existence, that is, the Soviet female doctors and female scouts.
They did not care at all about the actions of the Soviet male soldiers, and even showed great support.
After all, their families, friends, and comrades-in-arms also died in the Nazi massacre.
These former invincible Germanic people were trampled under the feet of the Slavs in front of them.
The US and British armies, which were allies, turned a blind eye to this act of the Soviet Union.
The first is that the Soviets have indeed paid a heavy price, and the second is that they hope that the Soviet soldiers will continue to discredit the Soviet Union in this dehumanizing behavior, so that the United States and Britain can use it to attack the Soviet Union in the future.
In addition to the physical torture, German life became a fatal factor.
All the supplies were looted by the Soviet troops, and all that was left for them was ruins.
In order to survive, there were also German women who were willing to throw themselves into the arms of the Soviets in exchange for the necessities of life
However, this German woman did not end well either.
The retaliation operation, which began in early May, lasted for three months.
It was only on August 3 that Zhukov came forward to put discipline in order with the Soviet army.
It was also from this day that the Soviets really became a soldier on the territory of Germany.
However, tragedy had already occurred, and 100,000 children of Germanic and Slavic blood were born in Germany.
Looking at the mutual cannibalism between the Soviet Union and the Nazis, although it is not worth advocating and approving of, the hearty revenge of blood and tears is one of the effective ways to end the war.
These cannot but be reminiscent of the persecution of Chinese women during the war.
Only Japanese women did not suffer from the war.
