Скачать или смотреть Soviet Women POWs Braced for Horror — British Gave Them Something They Never Expected

Discover the powerful true story of 31 Soviet women POWs who arrived in England in June 1945 expecting interrogation and exploitation, only to find British forces had assigned them female guards and given them privacy unprecedented in their military experience. This emotional WWII documentary reveals how Red Army soldiers, liberated from German captivity but facing Stalin's brutal treatment of returned POWs, encountered a British major who broke rules to save lives. From closed doors during medical exams to nationality loopholes that offered escape from repatriation, witness the transformation of women caught between diplomatic protocols and certain death. Featuring the remarkable stories of Katya Petrova, Nina Volkov, and Marina Sokolova—women who learned that small dignities matter profoundly, that bureaucratic compassion can save lives, and that seventeen women who couldn't be saved still deserve to be remembered. A testament to the courage it takes to break rules for the right reasons and the tragedy of political systems that value protocol over human lives.
