Gentlemen’s War

31 "Aviators in the West, who frequently engaged in personal duels in the sky, were still fighting a gentlemen’s war. Fritz Reck-Malleczewen (who died in the Dachau concentration camp) described the despair of a German uhlan piercing to death a Russian horseman with his lance. Weeping, he knelt before the dying man, who forgave him.

Solzhenitsyn, on the other hand, mentioned cossacks who happened to venture upon a car with German generals without molesting them. “This was just an accident. It was not planned!” they explained afterward. When the Austrians reconquered Lemberg (Lwow), they found in an apartment deserted by the Russian occupants a list of damaged objects and the money to cover the repair.

This was different in World War II. By that time, the majority of the Soviet soldiers were literate, had “progressed,” were “enlightened,” and behaved worse than gorillas—more than 2 million cases of rape, also in liberated areas!"
