Re: september 22 1939 Brest-Litovsk
Ah, site of one of the most astoundingly cynical actions of WWII.
It's a foggy early morning. Two groups of people at either end of a bridge. Group G and Group S, let's say. The G's take several people from their ranks and send them across the bridge. The S's do the same. The two smaller groups look at each other as the pass, knowing what their future will hold.
What gets me about this is that the people crossing the bridge were German Communist and anti-Fascists and Russian anti-Communists. The Gestapo and NKVD were exchanging people they had formerly given refuge to.
