The Red Army in East Prussia

The Red Army invaded germany's easternmost province, known as east prussia. If you were a man in east prussia, there was an incredibly high probability that you would be shot on sight or sent to bust rocks in a prison camp. The red army soldiers killed and raped their way through east prussia with stomach turning efficiency. They were absolutely indiscriminate. And if you found yourself in its path, only luck could save you. Now this is the hard part of the episode, and i apologize in advance, but this epidemic of sexual violence is inextricably linked to the story.
