Years ago, a US veteran who was in a German POW told me that his camp was liberated by the Soviets, and that they basically showed up, put some of the GIs in a truck, and took them away. The Americans showed up later, and he never heard from some of his buddies, who's hometown he new, again. He said one family was told thier son was MIA. I've heard supposed stories of this, mainly just rumors passed down from vets, for years. Could have just been a paranoia-driven rumor during the war that still hasn't died in 60 years. But I guess it does make sense. Stalin may have figured he'd be fighting us before too long anyway.
I also actually heard on the news years back that Yeltsin (probably when drunk,) actually admitted to Bush that the Soviet Union used to have American POWs from Korea and Vietnam. He later withdrew his statement, (probably once he sobered up). I suppose he may have let something slip under the influence of Vodka, or maybe he was just bullsh**ing like a normal drunk. I tend to believe it, I guess.
