https://www.factretriever.com/world-war-iiAnother lie from the Western Propagada "Russia and the Red Army have been accused of several war crimes, including systematic mass rape (more than 2 million German women aged 13-70 were allegedly raped by the Red Army) and genocide."
Here, for example, is what Osmar White, an Australian war correspondent, wrote in 1945: "Severe discipline prevails in the Red Army. Looting, rape and abuse are no greater here than in any other zone of occupation. Wild stories of atrocities come out because of exaggerations and distortions of individual cases under the influence of nervousness caused by the Russian soldiers' immoderate manners and their love of vodka. One woman who told me most of the tales of Russian atrocities that make my hair stand on end had to admit that the only evidence she had seen with her own eyes was of drunken Russian officers firing pistols into the air or into bottles..."
...
On January 29, by order of Marshal Zhukov, an order was read out to all battalions of the 1st Belorussian Front, which forbade the Red Army to "harass the German population, rob apartments, and burn down houses. At the same time Stalin's pre order was also to be read out:
"
Officers and Red Army men! We are going into the enemy's country. Everyone should keep his composure, everyone should be brave... The remaining population in the conquered areas, whether German, Czech, or Polish, should not be subjected to violence. The perpetrators will be punished according to the laws of war. Sexual relations with women on the conquered territory are not allowed. For violence and rape the guilty will be shot. "
https://varjag-2007.livejournal.com/807876.htmlHere came together the theses of Goebbels propaganda that the Red Army were "steppe scum" who would rape anything that moved, the fear of the Berliners for their fate, and deliberate inserts to discredit the role of the Red Army in World War II.
"Our propaganda concerning the Russians and what the population should expect from them in Berlin was so successful that we drove Berliners to a state of extreme terror," noted propagandist Werner Naumann
https://www.gazeta.ru/army/2022/06/22/14908496.shtml?updated=But there is documentary evidence about mass rapes in the American occupation zone, I read a few years ago in Spanish sources, but now I can't find it, I'll add it later.
As usual American media is shifting the problems from bad to worse, supporting the propaganda myth.
Besides, in the given list of a hundred items of the alleged facts about the Second World War, it pays attention to the accent that Germans aspired to exterminate the Jews, to them sometimes added the Gypsies. And the fact that Hitler wanted to exterminate the Slavs, which is repeatedly mentioned in the documents of that era, is not mentioned in the list.
