American planes and British planes bombed German civilian targets on purpose to lower the moral of the German enemy. The average prisoner of war was treated decently since we hoped they would treat our POWs the same but half the time we just shot them when they surrendered instead of taking prisoners.

The rest of the Allies have NOTHING on what the Russian Army did when they came into Germany. They weren't there for the Jews - they were there for REVENGE. It was so bad that some German civillians, particularly rape-fearing women, would kill themselves when the Russians overtook their towns. I'm not trying to sound particularly sympathetic to Nazi Germany or anything, but let's be realistic. Sometimes it's not good guys versus bad guys, but bad guys versus worse guys.
My granddad was telling me you stayed away from the Russian troops. I got the impression they fought like wounded animals. He didn't like the sight of their Thompson guns either.
