The Soviets killed a bunch of Nazi soldiers after they were captured (fucking good) and put a lot more into their gulag system for 4-10 years where they either died or ended up reeducated. Nazi soldiers were not treated well, though said Nazis were trying to genocide all kinds of groups, including settler-colonizing Russia, and burned, raped, and pillaged their way to Stalingrad, so I’m not going to cry over them under any circumstances.
I’ve been reading up on the early days of the DDR military, and a lot of captured Wehrmacht got reeducated and made emergency police in the occupation zones while things got sorted. Like the Soviets showed mercy to nazi pawns more than I would be willing to.
