    So show me the facts confirming murdering half a million people. Facts not lies. German POWs died not because of mass genocide action but because or harsh realities of Soviet gulags ( harsh living conditions, diseases and little food ).

    If that’s what constitutes for you war crimes, even soviet prisoners would have to be called victims of war crimes.

    It’s absurd of your terminology invention
