I don’t know who else to ping. There was a Polish/East European list but I don’t remember who lead it. I came across several Freepers form Germany, but I don’t remember their names.

I believe, this is an important issue also in America, where alliances and enmities of the Second World War still seem to linger, — despite the fact that for over 60 years our enemy has been not Nazism but Communism.

I like an old japanese “Human Conditions” trilogy about a young socialist japanese prison official in charge of workcamps for chinese POWs in Manchukuo. He has later joined Kwantung army, captured by the Soviets and sent to gulag.
A must see movie.
