Hi all,
I spotted another error but please don't blame K.O., he is not the author of
those bulls. In this one "about 1 million Germans" and "many soldiers" didn't
flee to the west to avoid capture by Soviet forces, in many cases soldiers
and civilians alike were simply shot on sight. The Soviets had a feared
reputation for taking no prisoners and Russians in particular had no love for
Germans to begin with.
Again I got the giggles from the casualty figures, those of the enemy are
always considerably higher. After all history is always written by the victor.

wilderness to the Mafia. All the great things and all the worst,
like Route 22."
