Blood red snow, by Gunter Koschorrek. ISBN 9780760321980 - Diary extracts from a German soldier who fought on the Eastern front and saw some pretty terrible things.

This is the first time anyone's been able to produce a source on the matter to me and while I'm skeptical of an account by a single German soldier claiming negative things about the other side, I appreciate you providing it.

Not to mention all the stuff coming out of the Ukraine invasion, with Russian conscripts being shot for retreating by their commanders.

This makes the claim less plausible, not more. What are you actually claiming here, that Russians are genetically predisposed to shooting their own soldiers or something? We're talking about completely different governments with completely different people operating in completely different structures and organizations. It seems to me that any accusation like that that's thrown at both the USSR and modern Russia should come under extra scrutiny, because it's more likely that it's just recycled propaganda.
