People were executed but the number was tiny compared to what Westoids think.
People were executed in every army! It was a World War and the people in charge of the armies fighting that war were not fucking around. More people were shot in the Red Army because it was so much larger than the other armies - these are really simple concepts to understand but liberals only care to try and humanize the Nazis and never the Reds for some reason.
To build on that, the red army saw the worst of it. Whatever shit the western troops were in during the most horrific parts of their non-pacific fronts was a walk in the park compared to the eastern front. Of course more people tried to get out. I don’t think that reflects poorly on the red army.
It would be interesting to have an alt-history viewer and see what desertion rates would be if it were possible to desert during an island hopping campaign. Like, I think not wanting to miss the only way off the island did more to help morale than Americans woild be comfortable with.
There were plenty of German soldiers in the concentration camps. They had a different badge than all the other prisoners. Refusing an order would get you sent to one.

In the badge system, they got a triangle orange badge. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Armed_forces_red_triangle.svg
