Don´t forget the cossacks and other Russians who emigrated from Russia to escape communism after ww1 and what happened to them...All were returned to Stalin´s hands by the allied...

"At a meeting in Moscow in October 1944, Churchill, Eden readily agreed to Stalin’s demand that the Soviet expatriates should be sent back. They were afraid that if they did otherwise,then the Soviets might be reluctant to hand back British POW’s whom they had liberated from internment camps in eastern Germany.

In February 1945, Churchill and Roosevelt met Stalin at Yalta. An agreement was reached amongst the three that liberated Soviet citizens would be repatriated, although this was kept secret for the next two years. In fact it was only in 1972 that the official records became declassified. In return for the Anglo-American promise, Stalin pledged to hold free elections in liberated Poland as soon as possible. And it was on this basis that future repatriation were carried out: if they were not then Poland would have no democracy. Hindsight tells us, of course, that Stalin no more intended free elections in Poland than did Hitler, but Churchill and Roosevelt were impressed with his sincerity. Both were by this time rather senile.

In May 18,000 Cossacks under the German General von Pannwitz were tricked into being delivered into Soviet hands. For weeks and weeks they had been assured that they were not going to be handed over, and so they had gullibly agreed to being “transferred to another camp.”Inexplicably,500 German soldiers were handed over with the Cossacks. Pannwitz’s execution was announced in Pravda on 17 January 1947. The ordinary soldiers were sent to Siberia, for a minimum of ten years’ hard labour. Only one or two of the Germans have ever come back.

Eventually, the American government was forced to moderate its policy, so that only prisoners who had actually fought for the Nazis would have to be sent back. But of course, this was exactly the category of prisoner which had the most to fear from being repatriated. Early in 1946, the Americans repatriated their penultimate batch of internees from Dachau--ironically the site of a war-time concentration camp.Elaborate precautions did not prevent many attempts at suicide, six of them successful.

2 kinds of repatriates:

civilians - 1.3m

military groups - .7m

.5m joined German army to overthrow Stalin - were traiters, e.g. Gen. Vlasov's "Russian Liberation Army" for Hitler

many of 5m Cossacks in South Russia were used by Germans ag. Tito

50,000 Cossacks in south Austria - returned to Stalin by British

Croatian pro-fascist "Ustasha" (anti-communist Pavelic) vs. Tito - Croats killed 600,000 Serbs & Jews at Jasenovac death camp - killed with axes & clubs, bodies into Sava River to float by Serbian capital of Belgrade - 200,000 Croats killed at Bleiburg by Tito's Serbs

Belarus Brigade (1982 book Belarus Secret by John Loftus) - pro-Hitler Byelorussians who helped Hitler since 1941 - killed 250,000 Jews then switched to help Allies in 1944 on Western front - many recruited by U.S. mil intell - smuggled into U.S. - settled in South River, N.J. - became "freedom fighters" (Stalin did same - planted agents in flow of refugees to West - "Operation Omaha" dossiers compiled on possible agents)

Nearly all of the fifty thousand Cossacks who were fortunate enough to escape with their lives into the Balkans, Turkey, Persia, Poland and China, left their homeland as organized army units.The Cossacks carried with them their State regalia, battle flags and archives.By far the greatest part of this group eventually settled in the Balkan countries and there, by hard work and perseverance, prospered and became substantial citizens again. Another part went farther, to Czechoslovakia and France; of this group many young men acquired a higher education and became professional men, also achieving considerable prosperity and renown. They retained their "Governments in Exile".
On May 28, 1945, twenty-one hundred and forty-six Cossack officers and generals, including the world famous cavalry leaders, Generals Krasnoff, Shkuro and Kiletch-Girey (all NOT SOVIET CITIZENS) , were, through a ruse, disarmed and carried in British cars and trucks to a neighboring town held by the Reds. There they were surrendered to the Red Army general, who immediately ordered them to stand trial for treason. Many of these Cossack leaders had never been nominally citizens and subjects of the Soviet Union, being the men who had left Russia in 1920, at the end of the civil war, and therefore could not be guilty of any treason. Some of these men were executed on the spot; the higher officers were subjected to mock trials at Moscow and were also executed. For example, General Krasnoff was hanged by a hook through the lower jaw, on a public square; this in the Twentieth Century in the capitol of the "most advanced nation of the world!" The bulk of this group was sent to slave labor camps in the Far North and Siberia, to suffer a slow and painful death in the hands of their tormentors.

Well, the allied did not kill them, the Russians did, but it was as good as doing it themselves, I think.Poor bastards! Running away from Russia in the 1920´s and Churchill gave them back to Stalin like that..I mean they were innocent people, they had not fought for Nazi Germany or anything.Just like the jews, their only fault was being a Cossack....Just shows you that politics stink alot..
