Recently I watched a Chinese semi-propaganda production on the Rape of Nanking. Even if half of it was true, the Dirlewanger boys -- legend has it that they played soccer with decapitated heads -- had some stiff competition. The video is brought to you by the boys and girls at Google. A warning, however, is in order. The descriptions of Japanese atrocities reminded me of Hellraiser films.
As far as the Russian "military" was concerned, they didn't need any "special" Dirlewanger-style formations. I remember reading somewhere that certain Russian officers became terrified of their own men during the rape and pillage of eastern and central Europe in 1944/45. They just tried desperately to get out of their way.
