We in Russia lost everything, our entire property, our fathers, even though we never wronged anyone, the Soviets handed us Nazi flags first and later send us to work to death in the Siberian prison because we may collude with Hitler. And yet we prevailed. And yet we are still truer to our culture than the rest of the Germans.
And German Americans just gave everything up that they wouldn't be slightly at a disadvantage.
Truly only the cowards and scum went westwards.
