they are being repatriated to Stalin’s USSR, they will be telling their stories to NKVD interrogators

"Foyle's War" had an episode about Russian prisoners in England committing suicide rather than be sent back to Russia.

While we're looking at the onrushing Red Army and thinking that's good, it's edifying to remember what came after.

I think for many in the Roosevelt administration and for left-wing Democrats generally the Soviet alliance was a positive thing. For Churchill, and certainly for me, it was strictly an "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" alliance.

The repatriations to the Soviet Union were certainly not our finest hour. I suppose if we hadn't agreed to it, however, Stalin would not have sent home the British and American POW's they liberated.
