On this episode of the Lions Led by Donkeys we talk about Sergeant Yakov Pavlov and his Soviet House of Death during the Battle of Stalingrad. Nick chugs Vodka to keep his horrible illness at bay long enough to record, we decide that the glorious Soviet Union would never lie in battle reports, and come to the conclusion that the Wermach was little more than Star Trek Red Shirts at this point of the war.

Episode 81 - Philippines American War Part 3: War Crimes and Misdemeanors

The British Free Corps was an armed formation made of up brits and dominion soldiers who volunteered to fight for the Nazis during WWII. But rather than a legion of King loving nazis, they ended up being incompetent, insane, and in one case the best military grifter of all time.

Sources regarding propaganda discussed at the end of the show:
WARNING: This is explicit porn. In case you want to just read what a historian Tim Clark wrote about this piece when it appeared in  2013 exhibition, Shunga: Sex and pleasure in Japanese art, 1600-1900. 

 "Popular print culture in Japan was extensively mobilised to support the country’s war effort in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. This is a particularly savage piece of anti-Russian propaganda.A different (presumed earlier) version of the design was produced using different woodblocks. The flag at top left is Russian, the soldiers in the background are Russians fleeing, and the following dialogue appears with the two foreground figures:
[Russian:] (in Romanised script with katakana glosses) “I think I’m going to die!” (Watakushi mō shinisō desu)
[Japanese soldier:] “I’ll soon deliver the final blow…” (Sugu todome o sashite yarō)
[Russians:] “Quick, let’s run away!” (Hayaku nigero) "

 The original korean translation of the print that was found during researching was inaccurate. A full translation from japanese shows this is meant to show the japanese military "raping" the russian military. These prints were very common and popular, though technically illegal.  WARNING: https://media.britishmuseum.org/media/Repository/Documents/2014_11/8_12/317b80e3_54cc_4575_8936_a3dd00d07c11/mid_01361913_001.jpg
