And this is when they were 'friends'...
And? This is about the consequential actions against Germans in the late-war era. If you wish to discuss Soviet racism, genocide and political persecution, feel free to open a new thread.

I've said it before, I will be happy to continually say it:

"Yeah, but they did it too!" does not excuse war crimes.

Not for the Nazis, Allies, or Soviets. When it comes to the Western Allied and Nazi war crimes, they cannot be compared. To me, the severity of war crimes is measured on the amount of people killed and the reasons. It's eays to see German war crimes far outweigh Western Allied.
