yes, and all german soldiers have been cowards and nazis like in Saving Private Ryan ...
To kill soldiers was NOT common in the Red Army. It happend. But it allso happend in the german AND US-Military. War has its own rules. If you have to retreat, you have, if single soldiers leave there positions thats a different story, it can happen that they get punished for it hard. If one soldier leave, others might as well, thats a reason why, at least in US, soldiers with combat fatigue, soldiers heart etc. or today just PTSD had to be send to a hospital as fast as possible. Not only for their saftey, but for the moral of the whole squad.
I'am all for realism, but the Red army was not that untrained and bad equiped army, so many think. It had periods where divisions lacked in equipement and troops. BUT ALSO MANY OTHER ARMIES, GERMANS AND USA INCLUDED.
W-SS divisions, in the last periode (44-45) tended from very well trained and equiped divisions to some, equiped just with 37mm paks and something not much better like a forke, bolt rifles from the WW1. Amerikan soldiers have been in afrika 1941, very bad trained, equiped and lacked heavily in discipline, after their defeat in casarine a whole regoranisation startet. The same happend with the Red-Army between 41 - 43.
I always read about "red army killed their soldiers, omg!", ... why not reading about, what the Wehrmacht did with cowards between the war? Particularly in the end period of the war. Red Army droped droped papers that proved its owner that he wanted to surrender. You could have been killed already for just "reading" it sometimes. Civilans have been killed, when they show a white flag out of their window or explained in the public how "sensles" it is to defend Berlin.
you have that already. Ever tried to leave the fighting area to far to the borders of the map?
USE YOUR IMAGINATION! Think about it, like the NVKD or your officer is hunting you
