alf:



And the excuse touted by the Nazi's was that Russia was not a party to the Geneva Convention so they could be murdered by the Nazis'.



- Am sorry alf, but you're twisting the facts. No body mentioned that Stalin deliberatly did not sign the Genewa convention. While Red Cross from other countries had some access to captured troops, Russians never carred about their own and simply let left them do die. If am correct there was an actual order from Stalin, to fight to the death. Whoever was cought as a prizoner, would end up in Gulag's for another 10-25 years.
