German prisoners of war in World War II

In World War II, German fascists abused prisoners of war and slaughtered Jews. Through the amplification and publicity of film and television works, novels and articles, everyone knows more or less. Gas chamber burning corpse, finally solved. Death camp! The people have increased their understanding of the evil of fascism, and at the same time, they hate Hitler and Nazi Germany more and more, and realize that Nazism is the root of the evil of the world and the justice and necessity of the anti-fascist war. If we know that fascism is wrong, it is a crime! Then we're just human beings. We won't do that. But if people can care about the fate of ordinary German prisoners of war after the victory of World War II. After knowing some truth, is there anything worth pondering and reflecting on? The so-called Geneva Convention is a piece of waste paper in the eyes of some powerful countries.

There are many military enthusiasts in China who like and worship Hitler or the German army and SS from a purely military point of view. In Germany, people are not interested in the above three types of people, and even very disgusted. Because China's "Hardists" (generally referring to those who like the German Nazis to build martial arts schools from a military perspective) may never really understand the suffering and unfair treatment, rape, hunger, loss of dignity and death of the German people after the defeat of Germany in World War II. When they needed protection most, no German soldier stood up to defend them, and the humiliation suffered by the German people would never receive even moral support and sympathy from the international community.

According to statistics, the number of Germans captured on the Eastern Front is estimated at around 2.5 million. Most of these people were captured because they were surrounded by Soviet troops in the late war and failed to break through. Those who can run will flee to the west and surrender to Britain and America. The Germans in Czechoslovakia and Kurland, for example, had no choice but to surrender to the Soviet Union. Among them, it is estimated that 500,000 prisoners of war died in Soviet concentration camps, but only 363,343 prisoners of war were confirmed dead by the Soviet Union.

I remember a very interesting story. Hartmann, Germany's first ace pilot, was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment by the Soviet Union after the war. In prison, he refused to work and the Soviet guards were very angry. Hartman's answer is, "Five years ago, your country won the war. I am an air force officer of a defeated country, not a war criminal! Lenin said that if a country does not release prisoners of war after six months, then it is an imperialist country and a degenerate country. " Yes, when you read these materials with a selfless and kind heart, you will be shocked by the tragic fate of those German prisoners of war. Will this happen in our civilized and just society? When I first came into contact with these materials, I had to slowly put down the heavy materials, and I was silent for a long time, muttering "those poor German prisoners of war ..."

Anyone who is slightly familiar with the history of World War II knows that the Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of World War II. The Soviet Red Army wiped out 330,000 Nazi Germans, including more than 90,000 German prisoners. However, only 5,000 prisoners of war returned to Germany after the war, and others died in concentration camps in Siberia, the Soviet Union for various reasons. I wonder if you will consider one question when you read these words: the Soviet Union is a socialist country, not a Nazi. Is it normal for the prison death rate in socialist countries to be so high? One of the lucky 5,000 people later recalled, "We were driven by Soviet soldiers and walked to the prison camp with our legs. If someone falls behind, Soviet soldiers will shoot him immediately. When we arrived at the prison camp, we ate once every three days, and many people died every day. From February 2 to early March, more than 50,000 German prisoners died of typhoid fever. ..... 36,000 survivors were transported to Siberia by train, and half of them died on the road. After arriving in Siberia, we were forced to work in the weather of MINUS 60 degrees, and the mortality rate was very high. Soon there will be only 6000 people left ... "

In fact, compared with another example, these 90 thousand people are really lucky. In Korsun's pocket of 1943, when the Germans broke through, they left all the 3000 wounded and some nurses, hoping to make them prisoners of the Soviet Red Army. After the war, the Soviet Union announced that when Russian assault troops arrived, they found that all the German wounded had been shot and killed, so it was concluded that all the German wounded had been killed when they retreated. These 3000 Germans are not qualified to be prisoners of war. The Soviet communique was unanimously refuted by German survivors in the encirclement. I wonder if this is a massacre. Anyway, no one is to blame for the death of these 3000 people. These 3,000 lives really died in vain.

After the Soviet Red Army captured Berlin, there were countless atrocities against surrendered prisoners of war. Here is just an example, which shows that the Red Army soldiers were indifferent to life at that time. A German soldier was unfortunately captured, and he would do anything to survive. The Red Army soldiers ordered him to play the piano and shot him as soon as it stopped. The German soldier played 12 hours continuously and finally collapsed on the piano. The Red Army soldiers immediately kept their promise and shot the German soldiers.

Although the Soviets are not good birds, they are really dwarfed by the human rights fighters like the United States. The Germans tried their best to escape to the west and surrender to the American and British troops, but what fate awaits these German soldiers?

By May 1945, the number of Germans surrendering to the United States, Britain and France was roughly 500,000 German prisoners surrendered by British troops in Montgomery. British and Canadian Coalition forces suffered 2 million casualties. A German captured in Africa recalled that in a British prison camp, the daily ration was 12 cookies and two cups of tea. After Germany surrendered, most of these prisoners were released home; Among them, 300,000 people were sent to France as laborers to "rebuild France". Britain and Canada are more tolerant of German prisoners of war. After all, they are all European brothers.

However, the treatment of the 5.2 million German prisoners who surrendered to the US military was even worse than that of those who surrendered to the Soviet Union. It is widely rumored that/kloc-0.000000 German prisoners were tortured to death in American military concentration camps. Of course, this sensational figure can no longer be verified, because the United States has destroyed all files in this field. The estimate may be exaggerated, but the number of German prisoners who died in American concentration camps is absolutely shocking. This is a heinous crime committed by Americans who claim to be the disseminator of world civilization and the model of democracy defenders.

The German prisoner-of-war camp set up by the US military is open-air, with a phalanx for every 1000 people. Through the barbed wire, it was not smashed, and it was exposed to the sun during the day, freezing and raining at night. The ragged prisoners of war huddled in knee-deep mud, dirty, gaunt, thin and glassy-eyed. Once a day, prisoners of war line up in two rows, with tables in front, only bread, chocolate, cheese, dried meat and other things. A German veteran recalled that Americans would pour gasoline on the food before giving it to prisoners of war. When eating, you grab it in batches, and whatever you grab is what you want. Because there are no vegetables and fruits for a long time, drinking water and domestic water are strictly restricted. Many prisoners of war have dry stools, and prisoners of war help each other to deduct stools. Diseases spread rapidly in German prison camps, mainly dysentery, typhoid fever, bad maggots and pneumonia. Patients lying in the mud are often covered with their own feces, which undoubtedly accelerates the spread of the disease. A surviving prisoner of war later recalled that his prison camp carried out an average of 20-30 bodies every day.

The serious shortage of food, malnutrition and poor sanitary conditions led to the death of a large number of German prisoners of war who were originally healthy. German women around some concentration camps threw food into barbed wire and were immediately shot and killed by American gendarmes who were found. When many prisoners of war died covered in mud, the clear river was more than ten meters away on the other side of the barbed wire ..... The number of German prisoners of war who died in American prison camps was equivalent to the sum of the number of Germans killed in the Western Front in World War II. It seems that after the end of World War II, the United States won another victory in mass killing of prisoners, which can also be called "final settlement". The mastermind behind the murder of prisoners of war was American President Eisenhower, who was praised by people and history as the hero, strategist and commander-in-chief of the Second World War. It is said that Barton, a famous American general, objected after knowing the inside story and was "destroyed" by a car accident caused by the CIA.

The request of the International Red Cross to inspect the prison camp was repeatedly rejected by the US military, and the lives of prisoners of war disappeared automatically without medical care and medicine. After being strongly condemned by international public opinion, German prisoners were transferred to regular prison camps, and many lives had already passed away. For the United States, which boasts that it is the most democratic and human rights-oriented country, the biggest irony is that 90,000 American prisoners of war captured by the "evil" Nazi Germany in World War II were taken good care of by the Germans during their detention, and only 1600 people died. The United States magnified several massacres committed by the German Nazis against the United States and Britain, but said nothing about its own evil deeds.

I recall TV reports that the China People's Liberation Army gave preferential treatment to Vietnamese prisoners of war after the Sino-Vietnamese War. Vietnamese prisoners of war ate white flour steamed bread, fresh vegetables and pork. When repatriated, every Vietnamese prisoner got new clothes and military blankets, but the Vietnamese were ungrateful. As soon as they returned to the Vietnamese border, they destroyed all military blankets in China in front of the people of China. China people are ridiculously simple and honest. Why not use them to support the disaster area?

The death March seems to exist in every big war.

A large number of cars have to transport their own wounded. It is impossible to transport prisoners of war, so we can only let them go. During the war, food is definitely in short supply, and no army will move food for nothing to raise prisoners of war.

During the Korean War, American prisoners of war also had death marches. Some people in the United States say that they died when they walked to a prison camp 1/3. No wonder, it was already very cold and the plane blew up in the sky. Even the Chinese and Korean troops are short of food, and the Americans are bombing the traffic lines, which makes the problem even bigger.

Stalin once secretly issued orders->; In the village before the arrival of the Germans, let the Soviet Red Army put on German equipment, slaughter, rape and burn the whole village, and cultivate seeds of hatred against Germany in the Soviet Union. In fact, many countries that joined the former Soviet Union did not want to associate with Stalin, such as Britain. In fact, the quality of the Soviet Red Army is far inferior to that of German soldiers. Actually, I changed into a military uniform. According to the present position, you know which side is the so-called teacher of justice. Everyone has heard of what the Soviet Red Army did in Berlin. & lt Interview with German soldiers in World War II >:>.

In the west, anti-Americanism is also a fashion, but anti-Americanism is irrational, which is a sad thing in both east and west.

At that time, a China reporter had just finished his interview in Europe after World War II, and saw countless molds and countless Germans in an abandoned warehouse. The mold sits high and low, and the Germans don't object to high and low, kneeling on the ground to polish shoes for Americans.

Losers are always in the wrong.

This country cannot be defeated.
