    Imagine being a child and finding out your beloved mom was massacred by 20 men and used in the most heinous way.
    That one of those monsters is your dad and you spawned from that bloody event.
    Rape is a crime against the mother but is also psychological abuse against the child.

      The Russian commanders encouraged the soldiers to r*pe women of all ages as they went about concluding the war. These attacks were a shame and a punishment to the women, a retribution for attacks in Russia by the Allies, and a reward to the Russian soldiers for a job well done. In addition, it would create a generation of children who were half Russian and thus their mothers and they might be more accepting of Russia in the future.
      This "policy" has been used for thousands and thousands of years both violently and consenting. It was extensively used in countries that were actually invaded (sometimes peacefully but also violently) thus establishing a new culture as invaders and the invaded began families.
      It was well known that all remainiing people in "losing" European countries in World War II should surrender to the Allies (e.g., the British, the Canadians, or the Americans) as they were considered more humane than the Russians.

      It`s always been a weapon of war. When the Oirat tribe refused to contribute girls to the Mongol emperor Ogedei`s harem in 1237, he sent an army to raid their caravans and ordered that 4000 of their women be repeatedly raped by his men in front of their families then sold into slavery.
      The ancient Greeks even encouraged their soldiers to rape women as a form of psychological warfare to humiliate their enemies.
      Mass rape was highly effective at destabilising the social structure of a society because in the past, the stigma attached to sexual violation meant that the women would become untouchables.
      With the Russians however, it was just bestial savagery by ill disciplined soldiers.

      Brutality in war takes many forms. That`s why we have the Geneva Conventions and military training in modern civilised countries places a lot of emphasis on maintaining discipline while interacting with civilian populations. If there is rape, murder and looting etc then the fault lies with a commander`s failure to control their troops. Military units are also regularly rotated and rested now to reduce the likelihood of soldiers developing psychological problems that could make them a danger to civilians. There will however always be a few bad apples.

In Koningsbergen and other German town women drowened themselves in the horror of the occupants. The is even mentioning in a documentry about it that Stalin made a blind eye for all Russian soldiers for three days when they took Berlin to do what ever they wanted. Some rape happened by all troops with American's on second place after Russia still with a massive margin inbetween. It can be much different like the Canadians who were the most honorable of soldiers in WW2. It is a most terrible sin and deflated the great Russian victory of any charisma.

      JEROME CHONG is a scammer from Africa. His organization impersonated the owner of a UA-cam site that is dedicated to SAINT DON BOSCO.
      The owner posted the letter saying this person is impersonating me, asking for money. DO NOT SEND MONEY.
      Unfortunately, CHONG is either a member or one man pretending to be others. They send the same letter to targeted individuals - an evil woman is looking at you through a black mirror, so on and so forth.
      Those of us who received the same letter comment we were also sent that same letter, with phone number to an orphanage, asking for money. The orphanage does not exist. Their time is limited. Please unsubscribe as soon as possible. Thank you and God bless you 🌹✝️🌹

      They survived as hundreds of other women raped by the Russian soldiers survived. There were very many children whose fathers were Russian after the WWII. Remember that Polish men were either in the guerrilla Armia Krajowa, or just fighting all around the world, away from Poland. If you are shocked with this case, try to imagine what the winners (Russian soldiers) did to the German women.

Not making justice netheir to them, or Madeleine Jeanne (who is also portraied as someone cold and not so sensitive towards the nuns)...

    For their penultimate act of war, even war crimes, the Soviet soldiers raped their way across Europe chasing the Nazis, and they did with the knowledge and permission of their officers. No Allied Force every whispered a word against those soldiers .
    On the other side of the war, the Japanese committed their first war crimes of the WWII in China in the very early. Japan took over Manchukuo for itself, impressing Chinese and Korean women to perform as "comfort women" to their deaths sometimes. Rape was just another Japanese tool of war until 1937 until their army attacked and vanquished Nanking in November, leading to an orgy of violence, that made the Soviet soldiers look like amateurs.

    Rape is common during war. The German army went into Eastern Europe and Russia. They raped the Russian women and young girls. They also forced entire villages into wooden buildings and after sealing windows and doors set the buildings afire burning the villagers alive. This was common practice of the German Nazi occupation. Rape was common among Russian and German invaders. Two very good films to see are: “Come and See”, “Franz and Paulina”.

    A very uplifting story. Those Russian soldiers were like animals. I recently read a book called A Woman in Berlin, and it was very frank, and pragmatic, as the German women are. So, in this story, the Russians had just come to Poland from Germany. It was probably the same gangs that raped the Berliner women. They had so much fun terrorizing the German women, they probably thought the nuns offered them another challenge, another adventure away from home. From what I read, the men were dirty, drunk, and would rape any woman they saw, young or old. How traumatized they must have been, especially as the “Ivans”, as the Germans called them,
    Didnt care that they were there in their holy robes, they but the men didn’t care that they were nuns. And Moscow approved their behavior, as it gave them a chance to relieve their stress. And, at least in Germany, the women had to feed them and give them vodka, which they pretty much stole. And they (the women) had to papy for that food and drink. Rape has ALWAYS been used in war, and often to humiliate the men as well as the women. Bless this doctor/nurse, who used caring and compassion.

      I wasn’t sure about this either, but I think some people might have judged the nuns for “giving up” their chastity instead of their life. Just speculating.

      I am sure there were those who judged, there always are.
      Why is any rape victim ever shamed?

    Were the Red Army soldiers who participated in this bestiality ever tracked down and punished for their crimes?

    Those poor nun's, they lost more than a nurse a friend but a comfort for a broken human. No real winner's in war except the people who profit from it. 💞✌️

    Sorry I disagree with the nuns. Did they have a choice? There were many brave women like this French woman helping these women. Just very not happy that women in Poland and know in my country choices in many states are taken away. Fine if your religious but to push your views especially by laws is not right to me. That's my two cents.
