One of the more disturbing bits I've just read.
Seek Revenge on the Nazis, yes, but not this.
Quote:
It was a maternity hospital. The Russians did not only rape all the nuns but also all the women lying in the hospital ward. All the pregnant ones and all the women who had just given birth.
They raped them in hordes and for days.
This was funny though.
Quote:
"Ich höre Russen scheißen. Ich höre Russen scheißen." .......There is a big difference in German between schießen and scheißen. One means shooting and the other shitting..... Into our tense silence she was screaming "I hear Russians shitting, I hear Russians shitting."
But when we heard this, we all burst into a roaring laughter.

One of the popular sayings in Berlin in 1944 was "Rather a Russian on my Belly than a Yankee Bomb" After May 1945 I'd say they were wishing they'd never thought of it!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
