German soldier's dilemma

During the Soviet occupation of Berlin and Germany, many German soldiers came home from a lost conflict often to find their wives fraternizing or even sleeping with the enemy soldiers. This was an incredible blow to the German soldiers because not only had they failed in their war effort and been destroyed by the Allied forces, but now the one area where they could maintain a strong influence, at home, is being torn apart by the same men who had destroyed their army and killed fellow soldiers. There is a strong argument in defense of the Soviet soldiers soldiers actions. They had just been victorious in their campaign, but had spent the last years fighting a gruesome battle on their own land and had witnessed the atrocities that the Germans had committed against the civilian population and many of the soldiers had been directly affected by this. Once they had gained the upper hand, it was they felt it was their chance to wreak havoc in the German home front.

The Germans, however, were lost in their ability to accept responsibility for their loss in the war and when they return to find their women fraternizing with the enemy, they immediately point the finger at the women who were too weak to resist the soldiers even though it was the much more so the soldiers fault for not being able to protect their country and ultimately their family from the barbarian Soviets who invaded and destroyed not only their country, but their home and family.
