@Jolly Interesting read. My dad participated in the fights. He and his buddies were chased out of Ukrain and had to flee via the Carpatian Mountains towards Slovakia. Later in 1945 he was captured by the Soviets near Prenzlau (Germany) and deported to the USSR. He ended up in Belarus and luckily returned home in 1946. He and one friend were the only survivors of his group.
The war had pretty nasty consequences on the rest of his life. -
Started to say...Being captured by the Russians was usually a one-way trip...

Depended on your citizenship. If you were Hungarian, Dutch, Norwegian or Belgian you were treated not too shabbily even if you were in a German uniform. If you were an Austrian or German citizen, you received the special treatment and work regime. Poles received a whole other treatment.
