Re: Captured
Great pics Paul. Where do you get them all? One thing I will point out is that is several of the threads you have pictures repeated twice and a few times three times in the same thread.
Not sure if anyone noticed but a few of those columns had female soldiers in them. One of the reasons that they didn't try to escape was that Stalin made it a military crime (not sure how else to say it) to return to a unit with out a weapon. They would be charged with desertion even if they were escaped prisoners and could be shot on the spot. This was also a problem with MIA soldiers, they were all classified as deserters.

As for where I got them, go to the start of the section and read "About The Photos In This Section".

Re: Captured
There's something haunting about the looks on the faces captured soldiers, it must a universal thing because its the same look I saw on the faces of captured Interhamwe/Genocidaires in Rwanda. They hoped so badly we were there to take them into UIN custody, they were wrong.
Sorry off track but had to be said. Bob out

Re: Captured
Are those Soviet females as POW's?? I was under the impression that not too many were taken prisoner. This is from what I have read.
