Hey what do you guys think of the rape of Berlin after the war?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_d...ion_of_Germany
'As Allied troops entered and occupied German territory during the later stages of World War II, mass rapes of women took place both in connection with combat operations and during the subsequent occupation.'
How did the good guy allies let this happen?!
General Patton, maybe the US's greatest general ever

"I will probably be in the headlines before you get this, as the press is trying to quote me as being more interested in restoring order in Germany than in catching Nazis. I can't tell them the truth that unless we restore Germany we will insure that Communism takes America.
I have been at Frankfurt for a civil government conference. If what we are doing (to the Germans) is 'Liberty, then give me death.' I can't see how Americans can sink so low. It is Semitic, and I am sure of it.
Berlin gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could have been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages. And all Europe will be Communist. It's said that for the first week after they took it (Berlin), all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped. I could have taken it (instead of the Soviets) had I been allowed.
There is a very apparent Semitic influence in the press. They are trying to do two things: first, implement communism, and second, see that all businessmen of German ancestry and non-Jewish antecedents are thrown out of their jobs. They have utterly lost the Anglo-Saxon conception of justice and feel that a man can be kicked out because somebody else says he is a Nazi. They were evidently quite shocked when I told them I would kick nobody out without the successful proof of guilt before a court of law ... Another point which the press harped on was the fact that we were doing too much for the Germans to the detriment of the DP's, most of whom are Jews. I could not give the answer to that one, because the answer is that, in my opinion and that of most nonpolitical officers, it is vitally necessary for us to build Germany up now as a buffer state against Russia. In fact, I am afraid we have waited too long.

Quote:
Two remarkably candid diaries from spring 1945 help to shed some light on what really happened.
The first is by Vladimir Gelfand who was a Jewish lieutenant from central Ukraine. His son, Vitaly, found the diary when he was clearing out his father’s papers after he died.
“Dad had seen such horrors on his way to Berlin”, he told me. “He went through so many villages in which the Nazis had killed everyone, even small children. And he saw evidence of rape.”
As the Red Army advanced into what the Soviet press called ‘the lair of the fascist beast’, posters drummed home the message: ‘Soldier: You are now on German soil. The hour of revenge has struck!’
