POWs Of Russia



P.O.W's of Russia
      POW stands for Prisoner Of War. The German POWs that were captured were tared and seen as people that destroyed vast areas in western Russia and killed millions.
Twice weekly, German POW’s received lessons in Communism, but there is no evidence that this met with any success.
                                                                 Communist Flag
     The people that were captured were used to rebuild what they destroyed.
The Germans captured 91,000 alive after the battle of Stalingrad.
After the war Germans carried hard labor in extreme weather conditions, many died from lack of food and disease.

    The German POWs were expected to rebuild Russia, and people thought it would take 20 years but was completed in 3 years. Many died from malnutrition and diseases associated with it. To Russians the work was more important then the people who died.
    The Prisoners were in 3 classes

Those who exceeded the work required for them - they were given extra rations
Those who completed the required work - got the basic amount of rations
Those who did not complete there work -  got little to nothing
Starving Germans




1) What are the colors of the communist flag?
2) Are the Russians staying true to their beliefs if they are not treating everyone equal?

    2. No, because in communism everyone is supposed to be treated equal. Yet I could see why they did that an eye for an eye though it could have bad consequences.
