See, it's definitely fake, I mean what, this brit was around for this? No. Maybe, if he's being "honest," at best heard it at his camp or something. Otherwise, you have a room full of Soviet soldiers and a now dead SS soldier. Not exactly a crowd that's getting this story out to the English speaking world.

So, it's a lie.

Funny Beevor and the Hoover institute shared it, in a "of course they did" way. It's amazing how many of these anecdotal stories exist about communists, with no legs to stand on after brief critical engagement. The atrocities of the nazis are known, there's their own records and testimony. The brutality of the Japanese invasion of China, perhaps less records, but plenty of first hand experience. The horrors of colonialism by the west? Same.

You don't see those stories in these memes. Just those scawy weds. It's kind of awesome that even though many socialist states are gone, they still terrify the West. The word Bolshevik, which would mean nothing outside Russia before the revolution, now decades after the collapse still inspires fear. Really shows the power and potency of Marxism, and encouraging that it's enemies fear us so, while fascists are rehabilitated. Pretty clear who's the real threat to hellworld. Naturally their propaganda makes it hard for us, but they wouldn't waste their time on it if they weren't concerned, and the Left throughout history has demonstrated the one thing they can't abide: there is an alternative- another, better world IS possible.

That's a long way to say "burn in hell imaginary doge meme SS guy"
