    They were Soviet women right?

    It makes sense- ever since the cold war the Western narrative has really downplayed the mass murder of Russians and other Soviets by Germany. It was even bigger than the Holocaust and I sort of have to think of it in those terms to even slightly comprehend it.

    Like imagine the Inglourious Basterds but there’s 12 million of them running around at any given time. The absolute rage

      Yep, Soviet women. I just edited my comment since I forgot to mention that.

      And yep, that’s my take as well. These people were finally on the offensive and were ready to get theirs - with utmost vengeance.
