Imagine believing soldiers would steal washing machines of all things lmao. Like just picture some guy lugging one around along with 30+ kg of gear or trying to stuff it into the crew compartment of a BTR-80 along with himself and his squadmates.

    i'm sure Red Army soldiers in 1945 were absolutely astonished at the variation in standards of living between East Prussian bourgeois and militant nobility and the common people there

    also WW2 Germany near the end of the war, famous for it's abundant resources, food, supplies, ammo, and overall abundance.

      East Prussia was rather uh poor, expect for the big landlord and noble estates, which tbf by that point most of the working class had left for the industrial regions and Königsberg.
