Still a warcrime.

What kind of triumph would it be without a parade of exotic prisoners?

Am I the only one who finds it a little silly to complain about parading prisoners during WWII?  If I were a German POW, the parade would probably be the most pleasant part of my captivity.  If I were a Soviet POW in German hands, I would be wishing that I were in shape to be in such a parade.

Yeah...what's the big deal. It was summer in Moscow. Languish in a crowded gulag in Siberia,  or go for a nice walk? They took them through the nice touristy parts of Moscow too. Very nice of them. Try do that now, it would cost you an arm and a leg. Uncle Joe was nothing if not a nice, friendly dictator. He even offered to put most of them up in Russia for life.

Seriously if I was captured by the Soviets as a Axis soldier I would be delighted if the worst that happened to me was marching in a parade.

He wasn't that thoughtful, it was 56k.

It is certainly the case that no matter how bad the German POWs had it at the hands of the Russian captors, they were a hell of a lot better off than the Soviet POWs in German hands were.

It did? I must have missed when that happened.

LOL were you born: after the cold war?
As bad as things may have been for people in the eastern block poor conditions generally fell a long long way short of actual slavery.

 Their destiny was not their own, and exchange for their labour the state provided for their needs, albeit with shoddy and cheaply produced amenities.

I mean, it looks like slavery and it sounds like slavery, but infact it is communism, which is worse.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

The title? "They Saw Moscow."

I wonder how many of them ever saw Germany again.

I wonder how many of them never even got the chance to execute a Jew or other undesirable.
