During the Allied troops entry and occupation of German territory during the later stages of World War II, it is alleged that mass rapes were committed by Allied Forces.
Elderly victims have come forward to reveal the horrors of abuse committed by the Soviet soldiers. [...] An estimated two million women faced savage, multiple attacks [...]
Military historian and author of Berlin: The Downfall 1945, Antony Beevor, said
in Berlin alone it was estimated up to 130,000 women were raped, of whom up to 10,000 committed suicide.
However, Russian historians have criticized the estimates and argue that these crimes were not widespread since the Soviet military leadership signed an executive order on 19 January 1945 that demanded the prevention of cruel treatment of the local population.
So did rape by the combined AlliedSoviet troops during the occupation of Germany occur across Germany in the huge numbers described in the book Hellstorm: The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947 by Thomas Goodrich and if so, what is the historian/scholar agreed estimate for the Allied rape numbers in 1945above?
