My (American) great grandfather, his brother, was in the pacific in the navy during ww2 as well. Ironically that part of my family is also baltic german, just further back, and even after English admixture, still retain facial features from that region, myself included. I know a lot about what happened because it's what drove my own people to near extinction besides our diaspora.
Considering such, I'm less angry at the soviets for the rage of the soldiers of their armies and stalin's border autism than I am at the allies for allowing it to happen, encouraging it, actively helping it by blitzing cities, and doing the exact same thing, with an even higher death count, in western Germany. And then being portrayed as the more moral party. Despite Zhukov himself being a character of far greater morals and opinions towards occupied germans than Eisenhower, Arthur Harris, FDR, Churchill, the entire lot of snakes. Just an ideologue of the wrong ideology.
The only good general staff officer involved on the part of the western allies was Patton, for reasons probably already known.
One can argue the war was started by all the ally embargoes and the lend lease plan helping to build up the Soviets into a mountainous threat. I've also learned more from arguing with one autistic Russian nationalist than I ever will from the many know nothing American GenX and Boomers.
