Good evening,
Im studying history at university. We have recently been discussing the rape of German women by the Red Army. As im sure you understand, it is a very sensitive topic. However, ive beena bit shocked by the attitudes of fellow students. I dont know if its because im older, well im 30 most of them are 21.
So the stance most of them had was that rape in this case was acceptable and that Berlin women could not be considered to be victims.
They said it was acceptable when you viewed it in the context of the Holocaust. They also said that basically all Germans were guilty of some kind of Nazi crime so they deserved what they got.
This does not sit well with me. Can you share your thoughts with me on this one ladies.
