The Soviets liberated Stalag 3A on April 22, 1945. It was an awesome sight to see 100's of Soviets troops come through the camp, men and women. I remember saying to myself "I would hate to fight these guys!" They were tough, after years of terrible fighting and living off the land as they moved west. | ||
