He should consider himself lucky for not being on the other side of the conflict. Germans weren’t as humane towards their POWs. They murdered 3.5 million captured soviet soldiers alone. German genocide that probably gets the least attention
Edit: classic /r/europe. Downvotes for being mean to Nazis
That was…more dead bodies than I was expecting.
Maybe tag tht?
