Chapter 224

Yes, this group of future German prisoners of war is a fortune, because the Germans tortured and killed Soviet prisoners, the situation of the Germans as prisoners is definitely not much better, but now Andrei has to find a way to try to let more prisoners survive, yes, the reason is very simple, labor, these German prisoners are good labor, Siberian farmland, Ural factories, Kazakh pastures and collective farms all need labor, now half of the men in the Soviet Union are on the battlefield, and the labor in the rear is done by the old, weak, sick and disabled, How can hundreds of thousands of laborers be wasted? But it's very difficult, isn't it?

Andrei sat there and began to recall the tragic fate of these German prisoners of war in history. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Historically, in the treatment of prisoners of the 6th Army, first of all, the Soviet Union could not keep up with its own supplies, food, and ammunition, and a big reason why the 90,000 people of the 6th Army were captured was because they lacked supplies and lacked warm clothing. Under the conditions of the time, it was impossible for the Soviets to prepare houses, stoves, coats, and food for the Germans, and the Soviet soldiers themselves lacked these conditions, and the common people of Stalingrad were still trembling in the ruins of the city.

Not many of these Germans spent the first winter after surrendering. Later, he was required to do a lot of labor, but the material conditions were too poor, the Germans themselves were not adapted, and the climate in the Soviet Union was unusually cold, so 5,000 people were able to survive, which was actually not very related to the massacre. You know, when the 90,000 people surrendered, there were a lot of war injuries, frostbite is basically everyone can't run away, and their physical condition is not good.

After all, I don't have enough to eat, so I don't care if you German live or die? But the Soviet side did not deliberately massacre prisoners of war, and the causes of death of prisoners of war in the Sixth Army were as follows:

First, these prisoners of war had been frozen and starved due to long-term injuries and illnesses before surrendering, so that they did not even have the strength to disperse the supplies airdropped by planes. Extremely weak body.

Second, the prisoners were first taken by train to Siberia and then disembarked and walked to the various prisoner-of-war camps. In the middle, on the train, on the way, some of them died of injuries and cold.

Third, the treatment of the prisoners of war who arrived in Central Asia was still acceptable, and they basically returned to China after the war. The group in Siberia died a lot because of the harsh environment and diseases.

Generally speaking, the mortality rate of German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union was not high at the level of material supplies in the Soviet Union at that time. During the Battle of Stalingrad, the daily ration of the Soviet army was only a few hundred grams of black bread, and many people died of cold and starvation. How much more can be given to those weak prisoners of war, the Soviet Union will never let its troops starve to death and feed the prisoners of war first, right? Siberia has been a place of exile since ancient times, with harsh winter conditions and poor infrastructure.

Throughout the war, the Soviet Union squeezed every ounce of its strength into the Great Patriotic War, especially in the first two years of the war, when supplies were extremely scarce and countless civilians starved to death. Under these circumstances, the Soviet Union simply had no way to guarantee the treatment of prisoners of war, let alone the Geneva Conventions. Not to mention that the Soviet Union did not join the treaty, and even if it did, it was unable to implement it. Even in this case, the mortality rate of German prisoners of war was only 12%, which was already very good.

Thinking of these Andre is now a headache, as a later generation Andre actually still has some ideas of later generations, except for the Japanese Kou, Andre does not have so much hatred for other prisoners of war, killing on the battlefield is inevitable, but prisoners of war, you must know that you have been feeling different after killing dozens of prisoners of war that time, after all, even Bai Qi confessed before he died, "I deserve to die." In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of people surrendered to Zhao, and I cheated and did everything I could, which was enough to die!

Excluding war criminals and SS, so many German soldiers deserve to die even if they are guilty, Andrei is not a saint but he is still a person after all, so what to do with prisoners of war next The first thing is food.

The citizens of Stalingrad did not have enough food, and the German prisoners naturally couldn't manage so much, Andrei remembered that the German officers at that time still had different food than the soldiers, and the other was the weather, cold protection...

But later, although Andrei tried his best, the mortality rate of German prisoners still did not drop too much, and because there was no discipline to restrain the troops when entering Germany, the West has always criticized Andrei in the future, and it is not wronged, Andrei has never massacred German prisoners of war on a large scale, but he did treat German prisoners as animals.

And at this time, Khrushchev came over, Andrei quickly stood up and said hello, and Khrushchev asked: "What is Andrey thinking?" Andrei didn't want to tell the truth and hurriedly said: "Comrade Khrushchev, I'm thinking about sour cucumbers, now there is a shortage of vegetables, I haven't eaten cucumbers for a long time!" And Khrushchev laughed and said: "Andrey, I can fulfill this wish!" ”

Sour cucumber is right, because the Russian winter will be very cold, and the winter is twelve minutes long, so many people, especially in rural areas, like to pickle a lot of vegetables in the jar, so that the preservation time will be greatly extended, and our Sichuan pickles are the same, the practice is also completely the same, that is, Sichuan's pickles are mainly salty, which is a small dish, and Russian pickles are really for food, and they are mainly sour (they really love to eat sour) There will be pickled cucumbers, sour tomatoes, sour cabbage, Sour shallots, sour green onions, sour garlic sprouts, etc., almost all the vegetables they think can be eaten can be put in the jar to pickle, instead of being eaten as a side dish at mealtime.

The more famous ones are pickled cucumbers, which are all cut one by one, and Lao Maozi's pickles are all whole.

Saying that, Khrushchev and Andrei went to the cooking class together, looking at the pickled cucumbers and tomatoes in his hands, Andrei's eyes were full of golden light, this is a good thing, and Khrushchev also picked up a cucumber and said: "Andrey, let's talk while eating!" ”

Andrei is also not polite, pick it up and bite it, Khrushchev is such a person, it can be said that he is the most human-like one among all the Soviet leaders, Khrushchev also picked up the cucumber and gnawed it, and then Andrei finished eating the cucumber and just ate half of the tomatoes, Khrushchev asked: "Andrey, transfer you away from the front, do you have any thoughts now?" ”

Khrushchev coldly asked this question, and Andrei didn't know how to answer it for a while!
