A female Soviet soldier has been captured by the Wehrmacht. 1941

The Wehrmacht actually had direct orders to kill any female soldiers they came after as they saw such a thing as unimaginable and degenerate.




Given she obviously has not been shot yet, she would likely have been sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where she likely died of starvation. Female Soviet soldiers are one of the greatest examples of the myth of the "clean Wehrmacht" being tarnished. Several Wehrmacht generals were so insulted by fighting women that they ordered them to be executed immediately, including Güyher von Kluge and Walther von Reichenau.

Because the Germans didn't have separate POW camps for women, if they weren't executed they were mostly handed over to the SS and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp.

She was very likely raped and murdered as that was what the Wehrmacht tended to do on the eastern front

And minutes after this picture, she was probably marched off to be shot or hung. Maybe if she was lucky, they shipped her off to be a prostitute at a concentration camp. To be clear, the Nazis HATED the Flintenweiber (rifle broad or rifle sluts).

The female Sovjet Pow were subject to the usual treatment, either shot on sight or interned in a concentration camp

Tbh that was pretty much what happened to them if they were liberated by Stalin as well after being captured

Regarding the liberated POWs, the Soviet archives show that most of the claims were bullshit. Some 4 million liberated POWs were transferred to filtration camps where they convalesced while they were checked for collaboration (eg collaborators who were informants, collaborators who helped run the camps and even collaborators who had joined the German military to get out of the camps, plus anti-socials who thrived in the camps by stealing food, murdering etc their fellow POWs). Something like 93% of POWs went through the filtration checks with no problems and were demobilised or returned to units.

Of the 7% who were collaborators, the sentence for the vast majority was being stripped of rank and being sent to penal battalions (note that this wasn’t a death sentence and most were eventually transferred back to regular units*). The most serious cases of collaboration went to the gulags after sentencing with around 2000 being sent directly to the tender mercies of the NKVD.

  • I’m currently reading the memoirs of a Siberian who was conscripted at the outbreak of war. He had hoped to become a pilot because he had recently joined a flying club, but he was assigned to the army because of his experience with a hunting rifle. Anyway, he eventually ended up assigned to a penal battalion (not as a prisoner, but as a regular soldier). He writes that his squad included a former General who had been stripped of rank to a Private.

A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916

 A French soldier looking at the remains of a leg that still has a boot on during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. 108 years ago today, the Battle of Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of World War I, came to an end. The battle lasted for 10 months and resulted in over 700,000 casualties, including some 300,000 killed. The Germans designed Verdun to be a battle of attrition. The German Chief of Staff, General Erich von Falkenhayn, planned to "bleed the French white" and lure them into a battle where they would suffer heavy casualties, hoping to break their will to fight. The Germans targeted Verdun because it was a heavily fortified stronghold, and its fall would be a blow to French morale. Despite extensive German preparations, the French were largely unprepared for the offensive. The initial bombardment allowed the Germans to advance and overrun the first French defensive lines. German forces captured Fort Douaumont, the largest and highest fortification on th...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
