guy was a french speaker, watching the germans when they invaded france. parents on one side french, the other german.
as to the russians. Remember this covered a lot of the ukraine, 30million dead from starvation by stalin in the 30's, at the beginning of the war they were not exactly russian friendly and looked at germans as saviours. one of hitler's big mistakes was not to utilize this more than he did, and turn oppressive.
My friend was on a troop train to siberia. at a railroad siding the train stopped and he and some others figured it was better to be shot than go to siberia, so he started walking home. The russian guard he said was a kid about his age, just let them go. I think of something like 110 000 men sent to siberia only something like 5000 or so made it home years after the war.
they were still fighting in some of the baltic states until the early 50's from what i have gathered. against the russians. He did get laid, sort of, described her kind of like a "hog".
