    "especially Germany 1944-1945"

    uhh you mean the country getting carpet bombed to shit by the world three largest air forces? Was the red army impressed by how shapely the ruins looked? I guess they saw all those child conscripts with WW1 bolt actions guarding the concentration camps and slave factories and thought "wow these are some cool people". You could not pick a worse time and place lmao.

    Poland was also literally the same eastern European, semi-feudal shithole that the USSR used to be. Except even poorer because it was run by reactionaries then literal Nazi bandits.

    Hungry being wealthy is :data-laughing:

    maybe Czechoslovakia, maybe, and only Prague and other big cities. didn't get blown up as much during the war and actually had some modern technology and industry. But I don't even know what this hack is talking about. They went "mad with fury"?? they were mad because the Nazis had just been slaughtering and pillaging their way across the USSR for years.
