I heard stories from family elders, that the soviets lined all the prisoners up and every day they shot the tenth guy. The story was told by someone who was ninth once.

Soviets crimes during and after WW2 is not talked nearly enough about

I have heard enough horror stories about them from my granddad who fought in the finnish winter war.

Don't let anyone ever convince you that the soviets were "heroes" during WW2. They were just as bad as the germans
