The Russians may not be shooting at you, but the stakes are just as high.

You reap what you sow.

The Chechen, Liithuanian, and Ukranian people are still paying for what they did to Russians in WWII. A lot of them did it wearing Wermacht and SS uniforms.

A lot more Russians lost family (or whole families, villages, towns, cities) members to "German" forces than Germans did to Russians post WWII and in as horrific circumstances.

A gentleman and an officer. His leadership in Russian prison camps, after the war, was... interesting.
