48,000 women were reported raped, and the rest are uncountable- Stalin ordered: Humiliate the Europeans!
Red Major in Poland ordered, rape all from 8 years up-- it was an order!-- across the whole of Eastern Europe - as well as enemy countries. It is remembered in Whispers. My mother was employed by the Austrian Railways as a translator and sort of health visitor for the Russian workers, brought them wool etc and fought with Officers who tried to sell their food stuffs on the black market and says, they were fed as well as we were. I can guarantee that. They crochetted stuff for me.However in Russia the Communists used young children to send messages through the lines, leaving the german soldiers two options, let them or shoot chldren and that is how they got through- the Party also put out rumours that Germans were raping the women, which was not true, I had two fathers there and can verify the truth! VERY occasionally Once she ran into a French POW (she was educated by French and Germ nuns) who snarled at her that they were eating turnips.

Yet the French had sat in Germany for a hundred years and stripped it and only because of the French did Hitler get a foothold! (first Polls 2 and half percent- changed it, took food to the poor and I WILL GET THE FRENCH OUT OF GERMANY Tomorrow if you vote for me and every german will have a job- landslide.
