\pard\nowidctlpar\nooverflow\sl240\slmult1{\f0\lang1033\fs22\kerning28     I was
 a combat photographer for military intelligence so I was right there for both the
 fall of Berlin and what happened afterwards. It had been a long and costly war 
with heavy causalities on both sides as well as scores of inhumane actions. In fact
 inhumane actions were more common the any other kind. By this time the soldiers
 of the motherland were in no mood to treat the nazi people kindly and they saw 
no reason to do so. After all the nazis had shown how to treat conquered people 
had they not. Almost every man had lost family and comrades to the nazi beasts.  
Even as our glorious artillery thundered death overhead the reprisals were starting
. Those telephone poles still standing were festooned with the dead bodies of German
 men who for whatever reason had angered the revenging forces of the motherland. 
If one looked in corners and houses the women of those men. Some dead, others merely
 raped and brutalized. If you saw a line at the door of a house and were to follow
 it in most often you would find one or more german females being introduced to 
the valor of our soldiers. \par}

\pard\nowidctlpar\nooverflow\sl240\slmult1{\f0\lang1033\fs22\kerning28     I took
 many pictures of dead women and every one of the crimes was blamed of the retreating
 nazi forces. There were even a few where a dead german was posed with a murdered
 woman and the caption telling how he was caught in the act and executed by outraged
 soviet soldiers. The truth that I never dared tell was that most if not all of 
those women were raped and killed by our men and not the nazis. Were I to have said
 any such thing before now I would be dead or in some prison wishing I was dead. 
The other secret that has been kept to now is that the rapes and murders were not
 the work of a few subhuman soldiers but were the work of many otherwise fine men
. The word was spread that whatever we did to the hated Germans was to be considered
 as just retribution and there would be no punishment or even investigations. This
 was spread by the lower level commanders and noncoms while the high command looked
 the other way. It is a sad fact that many if not most of our troops committed crimes
 during the last days of the great patriotic war and it is something that still 
stains our honor. Babies do die on war as do their mothers but to have them die 
on the point of a bayonet or after being raped is wrong. I live with what I have
 seen every day but the time for silence has passed.    \par}

\pard\nowidctlpar\nooverflow\sl240\slmult1{\f0\lang1033\fs22\kerning28      I watched
 as one girl was literally fucked to death by members of the victorious red army
. She was only just budding and had already seen her mother, grandmother, and sister
 raped and bayoneted to death. Her young body was tied to a table in such a manner
 as to allow both ere holes to be used as well as having her head bent backwards
 to allow those interested to fill her pretty mouth. To my everlasting shame I was
 one of the men who took her. Her ordeal lasted a day , a night , and most of the
 next day before her body finally gave up. She had to have been  taken by perhaps
 two hundred men and at the end she was literally gushing men\u8217\'92s spunk with
 every thrust of a prick into her body. There was a pool on the ground between her
 legs and her belly and tits were covered with white fluid. Her picture was used
 to prove the inhumanity of the nazi beasts.\par}

\pard\nowidctlpar\nooverflow\sl240\slmult1{\f0\lang1033\fs22\kerning28     Power
 poles were decorated with the naked bodies of  females, each one with its own horror
 story to tell if only the rope around their necks would have let them speak. The
 rape of Berlin lasted far past the end of any serious fighting and stopped only
 when people from other countries entered the city. A few even got there before 
it ended and they saw the truth but not one survived to speak of it. Berlin was 
then a dangerous place. \par}

\pard\nowidctlpar\nooverflow\sl240\slmult1{\f0\lang1033\fs22\kerning28     Now the
 truth will be told. As soon as I finish this report I will push the key on my computer
 and send my pictures to a place where they can b seen by all who wish to gaze upon
 the truth. They will be sickened and shocked but will know the truth. It may mean
 my death but I am ready to die. I still see her face as I took her and I am very
 tired of her image. Goodbye and farewell.}}
