Screamingeagles101 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 The Russian front was the worst because of the weather conditions. Yes, but what enemy made them think there was a good chance they would not make it ? Who did they fear the most ? Link to post Share on other sites
erctut1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Has to be the Russians. If you were captured you were sure to die an un pleasant death. Eric Looking for anything related to the Pioneer Infantry Regiments. Specifically the 4th Pioneers. Link to post Share on other sites

doyler Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would go with the Russians.Many published accounts show the Germans and Russians had very little if any compassion for each other.The scorched earth policy employed early in the war set the tone for the war.When the Russians reached German soil it was pay back time and total war came ful circle.

SergeantMajorGray Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I heard German POWs didn't make it back home till the early fifties and those are the ones who did make it.

I recall seeing a World at War series when I was a kid and they stated less than 10,000 returned after being captured in Russia(if I recall correctly) Here is some other figures I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the_Soviet_Union In Memoriam:Lieutenant J.Kostelec 1-3 First Special Service Force MIA/PD 4 March 1944 ItalyI HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY AND IT IS DAYLIGHTForget about the tips..We'll get hell to pay (AC/DC)"If you cant get out and run with the big dogs then sit on the porch and bark at the cars going by.."

strawberry 9 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The fighting on the Russian front truly was savage and the weather/living conditions only amplified this. I think the fact that the Germans preferred to surrender to the Americans rather than the Russians towards the end of the war says a lot. The Germans, Americans and British followed the rules of the Geneva Convention for the most part, at least with each other. The Germans and the Russians on the other hand...no.
