Well they couldn't really be expected too, they were very short of food in 1941, the Germans. You couldn't expect your average fraulein on the street to give up a nice bit of cake just because some dirty Russki got himself captured. I mean the bleedin' Slavs were barely human, the prison camps were probably luxury compared to the 'orrible peasant huts they were used too. As for summary execution, well they were used to that with the NKVD and all, made 'em feel right at home I'm sure. It might have been more appropriate to keep 'em in zoos I suppose but I imagine there would have been a bit of trouble with the RSPCA on account of the conditions.
Of course you're right. Absolutely swarms of Russian prisoners elected to help the Germans out. Purely on ideological grounds of course, the choice between digging fortifications in sunny France or participating in experiments to test the limits of human endurance had nuffink to do with it. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise, stands to reason doesn't it, and don't bother posting any load of bollocks like that Nuremberg proceedings tripe. That were a fit up if ever there were one. </font>
