Did Russian women associate themselves with German soldeirs, by means of prostitution, girlfriends or even wives? If so, was this a common occurance? And also,what happened to the women if infact their countrymen found out they were keeping time with German soldiers?

Thanks,

The will to survive will drive people to do many things they would not normally do. As we don't see many films on this theatre from the Russian perspective, it is hard to say... but probably. With respect to the disposition of these women, the NKVD was quite ruthless. Collaborators were probably hanged or tortured or both.

I have to agree, probably any Russian women that caroused with the Germans didn't survive long after the German departure. Most of the western women (I've seen picutes of dutch, begian, and french) Seem to have been mainly beat up by their peers and had their heads shaved. I'm sure a few didn't survive the beatings
