Methodology

For obvious reasons, this topic is infinitely fraught and infinitely complicated {These two articles are not irrelevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/Day-care_sex-abuse_hysteria - https://en.wikipedia.org/Satanic_ritual_abuse}, and perhaps discussing its methodology is more important than discussing what are taken to be facts? Incidentally, something I only know from the hearsay of a German woman born in 1942 is that the Americans in her sector didn't spare German Jews. Also, I feel uneasy about the article being so disconnected from the context of rape of Russian women by Germans during the German invasion of Russia.

Unreliable source

I’ve found that author Walter S. Zapotoczny, Jr. has very poor book reviews on Amazon, some of his books being rated as low as 1/5 or 2/5. The reviews generally criticise his works for being poorly written, not providing a comprehensive review of the topic, and filling many pages with appendixes and trivial information. I’ve haven’t looked into the books my self; I thought I’d post this here as a warning, and maybe someone can do a source check. JackAlpha26 (talk) 14:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Additions to the lead

@LaggerLegend: you recently added a few paragraphs of new content to the very beginning of this article. I have now reverted you twice, with you re-reverting in between. As you have not been using edit summaries, it is hard to know why you feel this content merits inclusion, or why it can be included despite a lack of sourcing. In the hopes of avoiding a full edit war, I am hoping you will join this discussion to justify your edits and possibly build consensus for including your work. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 05:38, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers: (talk) I would love to share with you some information. Stalin has signed special order and communicated by phone to generals on 19th January 1945. Zhukov, Konev, and Rokossovsky have ordered their armies to follow these rules. Some sources: http://www.great-country.ru/rubrika_myths/vov/00027.html

http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-41521130.html "Am 29. Januar ließ Marschall Schukow in allen Bataillonen seiner 1. Belorussischen Heeresgruppe einen Ukas verlesen, der es den Rotarmisten untersagte, "die deutsche Bevölkerung zu drangsalieren, die Wohnungen zu plündern und die Häuser niederzubrennen". Zugleich sollte die Verlesung eines schon früher erlassenen Stalin-Befehls den Warnungen vor Ausschreitungen Nachdruck geben: Offiziere und Rotarmisten aller Truppen! Wir gehen jetzt ins feindliche Land, Von jedem wird Selbstbeherrschung verlangt, jeder hat tapfer zu sein, wie es einem Kämpfer der Roten Armee gebührt, Die auf von uns besetzt-am Gebiet zurückgebliebene Bevölkerung, unabhängig davon, ob es Deutsche, Tschechen oder Polen sind, soll nicht belästigt und nicht beleidigt werden, denn die Schuldigen werden nach Kriegsgesetzen bestraft. Im besetzten Feindgebiet darf kein intimer Verkehr mit Frauen stattfinden Für Mißhandlungen und Vergewaltigungen werden die Schuldigen erschossen."

Heeresgruppe Mitte Abt. Ic/AO 'Sowjetische Befehle über Verhalten der RA auf deutschem Boden' 3 Feb. 1945 (т.е. "Советские приказы о поведении Красной армии на немецкой земле")

По немецким территориям есть две Директивы Ставки ВГК: от 2 апреля 1945 г. № 11055: «Войскам, действующим на территории Австрии, дать указания о том, чтобы население Австрии не обижать, вести себя корректно и не смешивать австрийцев с немецкими оккупантами.» и от 20 апреля 1945 г. № 11072. «Ставка Верховного Главнокомандования приказывает: 1. Потребовать от войск изменить отношение к немцам как к военнопленным, так и к гражданскому населению и обращаться с немцами лучше. Жестокое обращение с немцами вызывает у них боязнь и заставляет их упорно сопротивляться, не сдаваясь в плен. Гражданское население, опасаясь мести, организуется в банды. Такое положение нам не выгодно.»

В хрущевском официозе История Великой Отечественной войны Советского Союза 1941-1945 гг. Т. 5. М., 1963 приказ Сталина не упомянут. В брежневском официозе История второй мировой войны 1939–1945 гг. Т. 10. М., 1979. с. 144-145 ссылается на: Наше мщение. // Красная Звезда. М., 1945. №33, 9 февраля, с. 1: http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr130.djvu Нельзя представить себе дела таким образом, что если, скажем, фашистские двуногие звери позволяли себе публично насиловать наших женщин или занимались мародерством, то и мы в отместку им должны делать то же самое. Этого никогда не бывало и быть не может. Наш боец никогда не допустит ничего подобного, хотя руководствоваться здесь он будет отнюдь не жалостью, а только чувством собственного достоинства.

http://www.airo-xxi.ru/gb/doklady/doklad01.htm#_ednref28 Большевик. 1945. № 2. С.5.

Firefangledfeathers (talk) also, please read № 284. Приказ о порядке использования трофейного народнохозяйственного имущества № 04 19 января 1945 г. http://militera.lib.ru/docs/da/nko_1943-1945/14.html

Thank you for providing some sources. Many are primary documents from during or soon after the war. We need to be cautious not to overuse such documents per WP:PRIMARY. If you find those sources to supplement current content sourced to reliable, secondary sources, I believe the article would be strengthened by their inclusion. Having skimmed through your links, I didn't easily find anything to support some of your content. For example, your edit began with:

The main thing is being displaced from the historical memory of the Second World War - that the USSR and the Soviet people saved Europe from the destruction of entire states and peoples, and democracy itself, and at the cost of colossal losses and sacrifices, unprecedented suffering and destruction on Soviet soil and an incredible exertion of forces. Moreover, in the western zones of German occupation, as the documents show , there was by no means the idyll the image of which is being instilled in the public consciousness today. Eisenhower 's Radio Message "We Come Winning!"meant both "the right of the victors" and "woe to the vanquished." "Paradise life" in the western sectors turned out to be such that even refugees frightened by the propaganda about "Russian atrocities" returned to the areas occupied by Soviet troops .

What I have found so far in your sources does not support that content. Is the part about Eisenhower's message an interpretation of a reliable source, or your own interpretation? How about the labeling of the USSR's role in the war as the "main thing" being displaced in memory? In general, your content could benefit from inline citations, so that it's clear which source can verify each sentence or paragraph. You can learn more about how to do that at WP:Citing sources.

Ethnic Heritage of the Rapists?

What was the ethnic heritage of the Soviet Soldiers who committed (mass) rapes? There is some rumor that the Majority of them were Non-Europeans just like Tatars, Azerbaijanis, Kalmyks, Tuwinians, Buryatians and Yakutians.--92.74.225.126 (talk) 13:39, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Splitting out the section on the rape by the Soviet troops

The section on the rape by the Soviet troops is very large making it "out of proportion to the rest of the article." Per Misplaced Pages:Splitting, such sections can be made into a new stand alone articles where more details can be inserted. Such a move is also encouraged by WP:SPINOFF. Furthermore, the current size of the article is ~ 47 kB, prompting more attention to the size issue. --Mhhossein 13:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't think the Soviet section is big enough to warrant an entire article of its own. Also, as per Misplaced Pages:Splitting: "Below 50 kB, an article may not need splitting based on size alone." I think that applies here (47kb). DemianStratford (talk) 23:15, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
